Events in Norwich From 18th May – 24th May 2026

You can find a diverse range of events in Norwich this week, offering plenty to fill your days and evenings. From live music performances and theatrical productions to opportunities to engage with creativity, there’s a good mix for all tastes. Look out for chances to explore photography, storytelling, and jazz, with a dedicated festival bringing an exciting range of performances to the city. This year’s festival includes events at venues across the city, including Dragon Hall and spaces within the Norwich Lanes. Several pop-up opportunities offer the chance to discover unique items and support local makers, particularly around Norwich Market.

If you’re seeking family-friendly options, there are interactive sessions designed for younger audiences at The Forum and the Maddermarket Theatre. Consider utilising the convenient park and ride network, or Greater Anglia rail services into Norwich railway station, to avoid congestion on Elm Hill and limited parking in the city centre. The RingGo app provides easy payment for parking where spaces are available. And for those looking for something to do later in the day, the evening schedule includes opportunities to explore contemporary music and entertainment at venues just outside the city.
