Norwich music venue in Timber Hill could become flats

A bid to convert the empty venue at 7A Timber Hill which used to house Voodoo Daddy's showroom and pizza restaurant in to homes has been lodged by Turner Group.

If Norwich City Council approves the scheme the building will house commercial space and a meeting room on the ground floor and three flats on the levels above.

The venue's showroom in Timberhill closed on December 23 as it prepared to move its new location in London Street, occupying a betting shop which closed in 2021. 

Voodoo Daddy’s moved to its new home in London Street in 2023, launching next door to partner business Gonzo's Tea Room.
