Finding friends through Norwich
Find friendship in Norwich’s independent spirit
Norwich feels historic without being trapped in the past. Its market, independent businesses, arts, football and river give people with different interests an easy way to meet and discover what they enjoy discussing together.
Old streets and a living creative city
The Cathedral, Castle and Norwich Lanes provide a recognisable setting, while the Golden Triangle, Thorpe Hamlet and Earlham show everyday neighbourhood life. Books, theatre, music, food and the River Wensum keep the conversation connected with Norwich today.
Let a shared subject become a shared routine
If somebody enjoys the same author, match, walk or market favourite, continue the discussion another evening. Familiar subjects lower the effort of joining in and allow people to learn about one another gradually through the details they choose to share.
Creative conversation belongs to everybody
Norwich has a strong relationship with books, performance and independent ideas, but members do not need specialist knowledge to take part. A novel borrowed from the library, a local show or a piece of street art can prompt an enjoyable exchange between people of different ages.
