A huge celebration of creativity returns to Norwich this spring, featuring nine days of activities, exhibitions, talks and workshops.
The Norfolk Makers Festival is back at The Forum from Saturday, April 13 until Sunday, April 21 2024.
The venue will be packed with artists, artisans and crafters, who will be giving live demonstrations and offering visitors the chance to have a go at activities for free.

Alongside this, there are plenty of ticketed workshops led by local makers, where visitors can learn how to spin, crochet, print, draw, make jewellery and much more.
With more than 100 events taking place in Norwich throughout the Norfolk Makers Festival, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Jayne Evans, Norfolk Makers Festival producer, said: “Where else can you have a go, for free, at such a wide range of arts and crafts, with all materials and tuition provided?
"It is the perfect way to start learning new skills or brush up on old ones.”
The 2024 highlights include 18-year-old TikTok crochet star Ellen Siegert and 94-year-old knitting sensation Margaret Seaman.
