We engage over 1,000 children, young people, and families each year in activities at Dragon Hall, community, and schools’ settings. Your gift can support the continuation of the family activities, Young Norfolk Writing Competition, Norfolk Laureate, creative writing workshops and much more.
Through programmes like our City of Literature strand of Norfolk & Norwich Festival and Stories From the Quarter, we commission 130 pieces of new work each year from local and international writers and translators. Your donation with support the creation of this work and will allow us to bring artists to Dragon Hall and Norwich UNESCO City of Literature.
