Join Imogen Radford, Tales From the River project lead, to find out about memories of recreation in the Brecks rivers and fen edge! The Tales from the River project is gathering stories of fun in, on or by rivers, lakes and other waterways: of swimming, fishing, boating, festivals, and many other activities. Imogen's talk will take you on a journey along the three main rivers of the Brecks, showing stories and images of swimming, boating and other fun, and of the trade and industry along the way. People have shared some wonderful memories and photos with us that help to tell the fascinating story of how important the rivers have always been to people in the area.

The transformation of Norwich Castle's iconic Norman Keep is one of the largest UK heritage projects of recent years, generously supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It has enabled the rebuilding of the medieval floors and rooms so that visitors will be able to experience a Norman royal palace and its stories. The British Museum's first medieval gallery outside of London brings treasures of international importance to Norwich and for the first time everyone will be able to explore all 5 levels of the Keep - from basement to battlements. Join Project Manager, Hannah Jackson, to explore the fascinating history of Norwich Castle and to find out more about how the team approached this complex redevelopment in a building that has been permanently occupied for over 900 years.

Norfolk has far more churches than any other county - almost 1,000 at one time. Many are amongst the finest in the country as Norfolk was one of the richest counties when churches were being built, but many of them are completely isolated and separate from their congregations - how do these opposing situations arise?
