Outside of the pilot event for the Preston match on September 16, when 1,000 fans were allowed in to test measures including social distancing, it will be the first time the Canaries have welcomed fans back to Carrow Road since February.
The event is being held in the Gunn Club and Top of the Terrace lounges, with tickets priced at £10 per person, including a complimentary drink.
To comply with restrictions fans will be seated at their own private table with socially distanced seating with a maximum of six people per booking.
Face masks will be required, but can be removed once fans are seated at their table. People will also be temperature checked on arrival.
