About

The Forum is here for everyone. Our landmark building is open year-round for everybody to enjoy, with free events, exhibitions, activities and much more. We're a cultural hub for the city, and produce Norwich Science Festival, Norfolk Makers Festival and coordinate Norfolk Heritage Open Days. We also offer affordable city-centre venue hire, with flexible spaces that can be adapted for your needs. The Forum is home to the Millennium Library, BBC East, Pizza Express, Cafe Bar Marzano and Norfolk Citizen's Advice Bureau. There is also a safe and spacious underground car park, with accessible spaces. As a charity, all of our income is reinvested in The Forum: from putting on our fantastic free events, to maintaining the building.

“It's a community place located in centre of Norwich. You have access to library, cafe and car park. its thriving and located in one of the busiest areas in Norwich. Just 50m to Norwich Market, the oldest city market and close to Chantry place. Many other attractions are around you in this part of the city.”
