Our World Festivals
Fun, educational & celebratory multicultural events
To take part in these events, please visit Norfolk Our World Festivals.
Children’s Our World Festivals are fun, celebratory and educational. Every summer thousands of Norfolk schoolchildren have the opportunity to learn about and celebrate our increasingly global and multicultural society. Through interactive performances, workshops, displays, stalls and educational activities pupils, their teachers and parents can meet and learn first-hand from people from a wide mix of geographical and ethnic backgrounds. This is particularly important in a predominantly white shire county like Norfolk.
The usual course of a festival day
Traditionally, a Festival starts at about 11.30 in the morning when schools arrive and picnic on the field. At 12.00 noon the Festival is opened and thereafter the children, teachers and parents are free to watch performances or roam and take part in drumming workshops, storytelling sessions, art activities, and more. The Festival ends at approximately 2.30 in the afternoon.
For more details about the Festivals please visit the Norfolk Our World Festivals website.
