River festival film trail

Dates and time: Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 October 2026, 5pm to 7pm (last entry 6pm)

Walk beside the river after dark and discover short films and archive footage from the 1920s to the 1980s at stopping points along the way. News reports, nature programmes and documentaries reveal how Norwich's relationship with its river has changed over time. The trail takes around 45 minutes and follows a one-way route. Screenings are small and outdoors, so dress for the weather.

A chance to slow down, look closer and see the river through fresh eyes.

No booking required

Location: Riverside Walk, from the Adam and Eve Pub to the Red Lion (find the location)
