About The Holloway
The Holloway is a grassroots music venue in St Benedicts St, Norwich with a standing capacity of approximately 60. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Holloway is a tiny grassroots micro-venue tucked down St Lawrence Steps off St Benedicts Street in Norwich, blending a curated alternative bookshop with an intimate live-music cellar. With a capacity of just 60 across its two floors, it programmes small-scale musical, literary and cinematic events in a relaxed, welcoming setting, hosting touring and local acts (recent bills have included Black Market Karma, Pneu and FEASTS). A small bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks alongside a rotating selection of books, zines, prints and artist merchandise.
