Norfolk Deaf Festival

A man and women hold up signs saying I'm Deaf and Proud

A celebration of D/deaf culture and community in Norfolk.

That was Norfolk Deaf Festival 2026!

A celebration of equality, empowerment, education and inclusion, Norfolk Deaf Festival takes place early summer. Promoting deaf awareness and accessible communication through sign language and technology, the festival showcases inspiring deaf role models, offers skill-building and volunteering opportunities, and helps professionals better support the D/deaf community.

We'll be announcing the dates for Norfolk Deaf Festival 2027 in the coming weeks.
