A festival in Norwich will see a comeback this year following a four-year break following the pandemic.  

The festival celebrating the architectural past, present and future of Norwich and Norwich has been on hold and now planners are pleased that it will be returning.  

The 2023 instalment of the Festival of Architecture Norwich and Norfolk will mark the seventh year for the festival with a theme on reflection.

“We normally host the festival every two years, but because of Covid, we have had to wait until this year to get it back on the map.” 

The festival will run at the Forum in Norwich from October 10 to October 19.
