Festivals and Projects

The Forum is more than just a building...

We're a registered charity. The Forum is here for everyone, and we want to ensure we are a hub for communities of all kinds.

We produce our own free events and festivals throughout the year to inspire, entertain and inform. As a busy public building, we welcome more than a million people through our doors each year.

The Forum team work with organisations and charities from across Norfolk to support valuable community projects. It is these partnerships which help us to extend the reach and impact of our activity, with activities here at The Forum and beyond, in community centres, schools and other venues across the county.
