Support the Norfolk & Norwich Festival

There’s never been a better time to get involved with one of the country’s fastest growing international arts festivals. While you may know that the Festival brings world class national and international artists and performances to Norfolk, few realise that we are part of a registered charity. The Norfolk & Norwich Festival Trust was established in 1772 to present high-quality arts for the cultural development of the city, county and country.

By becoming a festival Friend or Benefactor, or perhaps making an annual donation, you’ll provide invaluable support that enables us to continue to present and develop our year-round programme of activities. You’ll enjoy some fantastic benefits, too. Simply choose a level…Friend, Benefactor, Principal Partner, Commissioning Circle or Annual Fund Donor, and sign up today to begin enjoying the benefits of membership for this year’s Festival.
