Events in Norwich From 30th March – 5th April 2026

Home · Events in Norwich This Week

You can find a mix of events across Norwich this week, with programming that reflects its long-standing civic traditions and ongoing cultural development. From 29 March to 5 April 2026, scheduled activities include craft workshops for children hosted at community centres such as those near St Andrew’s Church and Mile Cross Estate. These sessions are linked to seasonal themes, this week featuring Easter egg hunts held in green spaces including Riverside Park and the grounds of Norwich Cathedral precincts. For families seeking shared time, toddler screenings take place weekly at venues like The Forum or City Hall Theatre, offering short films designed for early audiences.

Adults have access to evening performances across established entertainment hubs such as The Prince’s Head in Earlham Street and small live music bars along Elm Hill. These include folk sets featuring local performers from the Norfolk Folk Club, jazz evenings at venues near Norwich railway station, stand-up comedy nights in intimate spaces like those run by Independent Comedy North, and themed cabaret events with a focus on 1980s pop culture or emo tribute acts curated through community networks.

Cultural talks are scheduled throughout the week, some delivered as part of university lectures held at UEA’s public lecture halls, others hosted within historic buildings such as Dragon Hall. Food-focused experiences often incorporate live music and take place in venues with accessible routes via Greater Anglia rail services or Konectbus stops near Norwich Market.

All events are spread across wards including Lanes, Mile Cross Estate, Thorpe Road, and Earlham, ensuring broad geographic reach without reliance on private transport despite ongoing infrastructure challenges. The city’s layout supports access through its park and ride network and RingGo app integration for parking options outside high-traffic zones like Elm Hill or the A47 corridor near Norwich Market.
