Whether you're planning a local event, starting a community group, or simply looking for a welcoming place to gather, Norwich City Council offers a wide range of buildings and outdoor spaces available for hire. From well-equipped community centres like the Norman Centre to beautiful parks and open spaces, there's a place for every purpose and passion.
But it’s not just about hiring a hall - it’s about building community. Many of these spaces are run by local organisations and volunteers who bring energy, creativity, and care to the heart of our neighbourhoods.
And if you’ve got an idea to improve a green space or start a garden project, the council is here to help you make it happen. Through simple processes and supportive partnerships, residents can take on spaces and transform them into places of pride and purpose.
Want to get involved?
Explore nearly 50 community gardens and outdoor sites across the city - from Grapes Hill to Marlpit Community Garden - using the interactive map on the Get Talking Norwich platform. No experience needed - just enthusiasm and a desire to connect.
