🦁 About The Aslan The Aslan was created to bring something different to Norwich. While many venues became loud, repetitive, and dominated by scenes that made ordinary people uncomfortable, we set out to create a stylish, safe, and welcoming space where respect is at the heart of everything. Built against the odds — with limited resources, years of obstruction, and much of the venue shaped by hand — The Aslan came to life with the support of friends, family, council officers, the EDP, and a wide section of the public. Today, it is more than just a café-bar: it is a place for quality food, drinks, and community, where all generations can enjoy themselves together in comfort, elegance, and good energy.
