Events in Norwich From 16th March – 22nd March 2026

You can find stand-up comedy, live music, and cultural events across Norwich this week. The Adrian Flux Waterfront Studio hosts sets with local performers and touring acts, while the Norwich Philharmonic Orchestra performs at a venue near the historic Lanes, once a key trade route still visible in modern street patterns. Epic Studios TV Theatre continues to host experimental theatre exploring current social themes.

Comedy shows are held at multiple locations: Ardal O'Hanlon appears at Norwich Theatre Royal & Playhouse after recent performances focused on Irish political satire; Gary Meikle plays near YALM foodhall following a BBC Comedy Club Archive project. Matt Parker is scheduled for an intimate event linked to Norwich Arts Centre’s current exhibition.

Cultural events include discussions at The Erpingham Gate, one of only two surviving 12th-century city gates still standing. A forum on Jewish-Christian relations takes place within cathedral grounds, its carvings now under study by university researchers through a grant-funded project.

Workshops include bespoke sign-making at Norwich Lanes using materials from the Norfolk Craft Collective; stage set painting sessions run during public hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Families can attend children’s film screenings tied to Norwich's 19th-century illustrated archives or join an Easter egg hunt across historic grounds maintained by Forestry England.
