This particular festival has been running for some eight years now and just continues to go from strength-to-strength year on year.

Norwich should be very proud of Sound Ideas Theatre Company, and everybody involved in this kooky, spooky, production.

The Car Man is probably the best dance work that Sir Matthew Bourne has created since New Adventures' version of Swan Lake. Drive yourselves down to Norwich Theatre Royal and grab yourselves a slice of the action.

Much like the Book Hive that curates the festival, the weekend offered an eclectic line up that offered a smorgasbord of literary talent.

Audience and improvisers collided and gelled creating a chaos of original and unrepeatable comedy in the way that makes improv such a fresh and endlessly entertaining form.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs stormed Norwich Arts Centre with a head-banging sellout show on the back of fifth album Death Hilarious.

“HELLO? HELLO? No, I can't talk. I'm in Epic Studios”.  

Clear your mind of the film, take along your I Spy book of Cole Porter songs, and a hugely entertaining evening awaits

Even within the cavernous interior of the Theatre Royal, this performance really did still feel intimate.

Migration, either as an economic consequence of war, or as a political escape route, is not something that is going to go away

What a night of pop nostalgia and cracking 80’s tunage.

So here we go again, it’s day three of the Rock N Roll Circus and day two for me and the sunshine is out following yesterday’s downpour that would’ve put a totally different perspective on proceedings for the attendees and vendors.

Newmarket Nights drew to a close on Saturday night with headliners Kaiser Chiefs entertaining another glamorous looking crowd

Theres never a dull moment at The rock and roll circus: extravagant circus performers to bands who soundtracked early 2000s Britain there is always something going on!

Ever since this well executed event took place on Norwich soil last year, I had eagerly been waiting to see what bands will be performing this year and as with previous years, the line up most certainly hasn’t disappointed. There is something for everyone over the next four days, but day one is what today is all about and it’s as good an excuse as any to close the working week off on a Thursday lunchtime to be able to get into the city and take in the artists on show.

Fiesta returned to the North Norfolk village of Suffield over the weekend, with another three day PRB takeover at the famous Suffield Arms

Forncett Festival is a reminder of what small, self-contained cultural gatherings do so well. They turn unusual spaces into shared ones, blur the line between audience and performer, and create a sense of community

Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime and broke the rules with the Matilda, The Musical cast, here is why you should too...

My Saturday night fix of live music from three of Norwich’s most exciting, and original, bands.

A three act operatic spectacle, packed with passion and power.

‘Clapton Is God’ may still hold true for some, but it is the guitar gospel according to Eric Johnson that I shall henceforth be following.

“This is not an experiment – you will bounce, you will laugh, you will experience joy”. And we did.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Latitude Festival has carved out a unique place on Britain’s festival circuit, placing major musical names alongside literature, comedy and the arts.
