GoGo T-Rex 
GoGoDiscover is Break Charity's latest art trail in partnership with Wild in Art, and this year it features 21 uniquely designed T. Rex sculptures in Norwich! Stomp through the streets of Norwich as part of a guided route to Norwich Cathedral to meet Dippy the Diplodocus. It's a great way to explore the city and learn more about its history and culture, all while raising vital money for vulnerable children and young people across the region. |

The Wind in the Willows 
It's time to head back to the theatre! The Wind in the Willows is a beautiful and enchanting musical production written by Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes with music by the award-winning Stiles & Drewe, presented by the Turbine Theatre, London. Last seen at the London Palladium in 2018, The Wind in the Willows has been specially adapted for a more intimate outdoor performance. |

Norwich Ghost Walks 
See the spooky side of Norwich Cathedral, Norwich Castle, Elm Hill, Tombland on a Norwich Ghost Tour! Meet with your ghost-hunter host outside the Adam & Eve pub in Norwich, and be prepared to embark on a journey through the most haunted areas of this ancient city. Hear tales of the lost spirits and poltergeists who are still seen, and heard, to this day, and make sure you aren't followed home afterwards. Tuesdays and Thursdays |
Wolterton Park Recitals
Unwind with friends and family in the beautiful grounds of Wolterton Park this Sunday and be transported to a different time and place at a time when travel may not be possible. On Sunday, the "Russian Romance" open-air concert is on, with the string musicians playing Alexander Borodin, Hugo Wolf and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Remember to bring a picnic, chairs and blankets to enjoy the recital on the front lawn. Money raised goes towards The Norfolk Churches Trust.
