Norfolk Deaf Festival

Norfolk Deaf Festival, which was established in 2017, celebrates equality, empowerment, education and inclusion. It promotes deaf awareness and accessible communication through sign language and technology, showcases inspiring deaf role models, offers skill-building and volunteering opportunities, and helps professionals better support the D/deaf community.

Most of all, it brings everyone together - deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing - to connect, learn and celebrate. Whatever your hearing loss, you are not alone.

Originally a one-day celebration and run by volunteers, in 2019 it was expanded to two days with great success, and has now been brought into The Forum's family of festivals.

Norfolk Deaf Festival is back this year Friday 26 and Saturday 27 June 2026.
