Embrace the Spirit Beyond the Parade and Festival

• Pre‑Pride Events & Community Sessions: In the week leading up to Pride, expect art exhibitions, queer workshops, open mic nights, and community fundraisers across Norwich—each designed to celebrate diversity and build connection.
• Evening Performances & After‑Events: When the festival grounds quiet down, the city stays alive. Local venues host drag brunches, cabaret nights, queer DJs, and late‑night parties—especially around the city centre, Elm Hill and the Norwich Lanes.
• Cultural Walks & Hidden Gems: Explore Norwich’s rich heritage with walks past Norwich Cathedral, the riverside, and through the Lanes. Drop into independent cafés, creative galleries, or eclectic bookshops that often participate in Pride with special events or installations.
