About Us

The Forum is a public building home to the Norfolk & Norwich Millennium Library, Pizza Express, Cafe Bar Marzano, BBC East, The Forum Shop by Jarrold, and Norfolk Citizen's Advice Bureau.

There's always something going on with a mix of free exhibitions, events, activities, catering, shopping and learning opportunities.

The Forum is managed by The Forum Trust, an independent self-financing charitable organisation. We deliver and support a series of free events including Norwich Science Festival, Norwich Gaming Festival, Norfolk Makers' Festival and Heritage Open Days
