Dragon Hall, 115-123 King Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 1QE

  • 08 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking preferred

Come and explore the historic Dragon Hall, now home to the National Centre for Writing, and take a full guided tour with one of our Heritage Volunteer Guides.

Learn more about the architectural and social history of the site from an experienced Dragon Hall Heritage Volunteer guide.

Dragon Hall has had a fascinating and colourful history – starting life as a medieval trading hall, then a crowded residential building for 500 years, it’s been everything from slums, a butcher’s shop, rectory, and pub, right through to wedding venue, festival venue and now, a Literature House! Learn more about one of Norwich’s 12 iconic buildings and get a flavour of the stories that live within its walls.

Limited spaces available, please register in advance. Donations towards the building’s upkeep are greatly appreciated.

Dragon Hall is home to the National Centre for Writing and Norwich UNESCO City of Literature.
