Norwich Arts Centre is one of the city's longest-standing independent music and arts venues, housed in a converted medieval church in central Norwich (Norfolk). The main room holds 300 standing for gigs or 120 seated, and the programme runs the full grassroots spread — touring and emerging indie, rock, folk, electronic and experimental acts plus comedy, theatre and live art. It operates as a properly equipped venue with an in-house PA and technical crew (full tech spec published for visiting acts), and the intimate, characterful space keeps performers and audiences close together. A key node in the East Anglian touring circuit.
