One of the oldest-established festivals in the UK, the Norfolk & Norwich comes round in the merry month of May.
[…] Literature Weekend (in association with the National Centre for Writing) questions of communication and representation will be explored over a host of interesting events by such luminous writers as Carys Davies, Jon McGregor, Val McDermid and Marchelle Farrell. Other festival highlights include the world première of a new eight-hour epic organ composition, 268 years of reverb, composed by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood while, in stark contrast, one can view Antony Gormley’s spectacular large-scale installation Time Horizon at Houghton Hall as well as a series of sculptures by the Kenyan-born British studio potter, Dame Magdalene Odundo.

The launch of The Book of Thetford, created by children from Thetford schools, in collaboration with artists Andy Field and Beckie Darlington, showcases one of several projects involving the festival working in tandem with Norfolk community groups.
