The museum started out as an aviation enthusiasts group for members of the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company way back in 1977. The membership was later opened up to non employees and a temporary site was secured on the 17/35 runway at Norwich Airport.
In early 1982, museum exhibits included Avro Anson (TX228), Westland Whirlwind (XP355), Sea Vixen (XP919) and a Dassault Mystére IV (121). 1983 saw the arrival of our Vulcan bomber which flew in to the airport after its retirement from service.
Norwich Market has reopened! Things look a little different—a one way system is in place now, and some stallholders might be wearing masks—but it is still the market we know and love, filled with tasty treats, unique gifts, and lots of useful items.
Take the time to explore, grab a snack or some lunch, or stock up on some delicious food for home. Stop by Herbs & Spices for all the ingredients to level up your cooking, The Cheese Man for local and exotic cheeses, Bread Source for fresh baked sourdough and pastries, CJ’s Fruit & Veg for all the best produce, and Sir Toby’s for independent beers.
Located in the market place in the heart of the medieval city of Norwich, St Peter Mancroft is the largest of the city’s 31 surviving medieval parish churches and one of the finest perpendicular parish churches in Norfolk. It is known for its medieval stained glass, its collection of medieval and renaissance treasures and its importance as a pioneering tower in the uniquely English art of change-ringing on church bells.
John Wesley (1703-1791), on his visit to Norwich, came into St Peter Mancroft and wrote in his diary:
“I scarcely remember ever to have seen a more beautiful parish church; the more so because its beauty results not from foreign ornaments, but from the very fine form and structure of it. It is very large, and of uncommon height, and the sides are almost all window: so that it has an awful and venerable look, and at the same time surprisingly cheerful.”
This city-centre theatre is known for its quirky, offbeat and brilliant shows, and its ever popular bar. A firm favourite across Norwich, The Playhouse brings big-name comedians, fantastic Fringe productions, magnificent music, amazing drama, great family shows and so much more to the region. The intimate 300 seat auditorium has just been refurbished, and is even more comfortable than before.
Norwich University of the Arts (NUA) has established itself in arts, design and media education for over 170 years. But while our history can be traced back to 1845, our outlook is forward-thinking.
NUA has thrived as an established University, developing a national reputation as an innovative and creative academic community, with a firm commitment to offering vocational, practice based courses that afford students space to develop their skills and pursue their passion.
At the heart of it all, our students. Artists, designers, makers. Bringing diverse interests and unique perspectives, they share a desire to be challenged and inspired. To learn from the past and shape the future.
