Why not apply to be part in one of The Forum’s festivals! We’re looking for applications to be part of Norwich Science Festival, Norwich Book Festival, and Norfolk Heritage Open Days.
The Forum festivals are a key part of the city’s cultural calendar, and the work we do. We present and coordinate Norwich Games Festival, Norwich Science Festival, Norwich Book Festival, and Norfolk Heritage Open Days. All of our Festivals are designed to contain free, low-cost and accessible options so that everyone can find something to get inspired by.
Now is your chance to be part of that scene directly!
We are currently accepting submissions for Norwich Science Festival 2026, Norwich Book Festival 2025, and registrations for Norfolk Heritage Open Days 2025. If you have a story to tell, whether in literature, history, or science, we want to hear it! We receive a large number of visitors to our festivals – this year Norwich Science Festival welcomed over 75,000 visitors over 7 days – so this could be your chance to get your voice heard!
There are a variety of opportunities across our different festivals, see below for more details:
Norwich Science Festival 2026
Follow in the footsteps of stars like Steve Backshall, Jane Goodhall, and Hamza Yassin! We are looking for a range of events – including everything from performances, stage shows, talks, workshops and immersive experiences! If you’ve got an idea that celebrates science and technology, we want you to get in touch.
In previous years we’ve had family shows about space, talks on the statistics behind Norwich City football games, and fermentation workshops on the science of beer! Whatever your idea is, we want to hear it.
