Road closures will be in place across the city in the coming days to make way for the Lord Mayor’s Celebration.

The three-day event will return to Norwich with a jam-packed programme from Friday, July 1 until Sunday, July 3, after being cancelled for the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This year’s procession, which is the “crown jewel of the weekend”, will begin at the earlier time of 3pm and will follow a new route through the city - starting from Marsh Car Park and ending at Norwich Cathedral.
