1 week to go! Norfolk Deaf Festival is back!

Everyone is welcome to join us for a two-day inclusive celebration of D/deaf culture and community, Friday 26 and Saturday 27 June.

Everything on the programme, except for a very special comedy evening with John Smith, is free to attend. Some activities, while free, must be pre-booked, such as a British Sign Language taster and introductory sessions, create your own comic workshop, sign-song workshop and much more. There are lots of brilliant drop-in events too, including the Deaf Raves!
