Events in Norwich From 11th May – 17th May 2026

You can find a range of events across Norwich this week. If you're after live music, there are performances at venues like Norwich Arts Centre, a space known for hosting contemporary acts. The week also includes spoken word and theatre shows, with events at places like the Maddermarket Theatre, one of Britain's finest Art Deco theatres. For comedy, check out gigs at The Adrian Flux Waterfront or local pubs such as The Lamb Inn, where live music is featured every Friday. If you're up for something active, there's a walk from Dunston Hall to Caister St Edmund Roman Fort, followed by foot golf, or a visit to Whitlingham Country Park for a foraging and cookery course. The city's parks offer quiet afternoons, and you can explore the River Wensum on a casual stroll. The OPEN venue occasionally hosts performances, and there are events in the Norwich Lanes area, including shows at local bars. Travel by rail is straightforward, with Greater Anglia services linking Norwich to London, Cambridge, and Ely. The Norwich railway station is well placed for city access. If you're planning to drive, remember that parking can be limited on Elm Hill, and using the RingGo app may help if spaces are available.
