Arts & Culture in Norwich
Norwich has an abundant and thriving arts and culture scene, and was shortlisted for the UK City of Culture 2013, beating stiff competition to get down to the final four. Take time out to take in a gig, show, or comedy night in this fine city. Norwich Theatre Royal is East Anglia's premier theatre, staging countless excellent productions, from ballet to opera, comedy to musical, appealing to many different audiences. With a completely different feel to Norwich's other theatres, Norwich Playhouse hosts a terrific mix of comedy, drama, music and art. Previous artists have included Eddie Izzard and Al Murray, while it also features national touring companies and celebrity nights with famous faces such as Germaine Greer. Pop along for a drink in the unique bar set in the style of a New York café which serves real ale and organic wine. Housed in a 18th century former Catholic church, the Maddermarket Theatre has been entertaining audiences since the 1920s. A great range of shows are performed from much-loved classics to brand new productions written by upcoming talents. This old building is also said to be haunted so keep a look out!

Bars and Clubs
If you really like to party then Norwich is definitely for you. There are numerous bars and clubs open late into the night (or early morning!). At Riverside and along Prince of Wales Road you will find a selection of great bars along with several nightclubs so there is sure to be somewhere to dance the night away. Many such as Po Na Na's or Mercy have touring acts and club nights. Tombland is home to some stylish and trendy bars where you can relax with friends, such as Take Five, while there are some lovely homely pubs and bars mingled amongst the Norwich Lanes, such as the Birdcage, or Belgian Monk where you can sample some unusual fruity lagers!
Cinema
If you love watching films then visit one of Norwich's four cinemas. Perhaps pop along to see a movie after you've finished your shopping with multi-screen cinemas at the Castle Mall, the Riverside complex and Anglia Square. The most unique place to take in a film has to be Cinema City, one of Norwich's oldest and best-loved art house cinemas. Filmgoers are offered a very different experience with a variety of new, classic and foreign movies showing, and there is also a great restaurant and bar to make the evening complete.
