Programmed in partnership with the National Centre for Writing, literature events at the Festival celebrate Norwich as a UNESCO-designated home to writers, thinkers, storytellers and readers.
The National Centre for Writing is based at Dragon Hall in Norwich. In 2012 we led the successful bid for the city to become England’s first UNESCO City of Literature, joining a prestigious and growing network of creative cities worldwide.
