Come and explore the historic Dragon Hall, now home to the National Centre for Writing, and take a full guided tour of this fascinating building. 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.
