A whole city celebration welcoming the Torch to the streets of Norwich
We are very excited that Norwich has been chosen as one of the 66 destination cities for the Olympic Torch Relay.
The Flame will reach the city on Wednesday 4 July and will leave the following day. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our communities to join in with the Olympic celebrations in 2012, and there are many ways for everyone to get involved.
The Relay will form part of a week of Olympic celebrations in Norwich, and the city will be incredibly busy with thousands of people lining the Torch’s route and joining an evening celebration at Chapelfield Gardens on the evening of Wednesday 4 July.
The celebrations will continue into the Lord Mayor’s weekend on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 July with sporting activities, theatre, dance, street fayres, music, markets, fireworks, stages and a variety of performances on the streets. It really will be a whole city celebration.
Please do browse the events page on the website for more details on timings, activities and how you can get involved.
