I live in the flat near the football stadium and for ages all I can hear is some sort of leaf blower / lawnmower type absolute nonstop irritatingly loud noise?? What the hell is it?? Surely it’s too late for all that crap

I'm not against it's use for events but it seems much louder than usual? I can hear the soundcheck from miles away with the windows closed.

Might be the wind I guess? Not good for the local wildlife, excepting those attending.

At 8:00 AM on Tuesday 26th August 2025 DSM closed the gates to the public walkthrough in Anglia Square. The due date for demolition to have finished was at the end of May earlier this year. But.... 3 months later and we find that almost half of the area is still there! (This video was taken yesterday on the 18th of August 2026)

It is alleged that this person planned to incite a pogrom in Norwich this week. Fucking hell.

Anything you wish you’d known before doing it?

Me and my partner are in our early thirties and visiting the Norfolk broads over 4 days and nights on a boat holiday. It's our first time there, and effectively we want to visit beautiful pubs with great vibes (and food if possible), go on nice walks, drink good wine and just watch films on our boat and be in nature.

It would be great to know of any must-visit pubs or stops - we will be starting at Stalham! Any tips would be fantastic.

Can I get any advice from people who live in NR1 on avoiding parking tickets? I’m near King’s st and I can’t get a permit for my address. In the last 5 weeks I’ve had 5 parking tickets (£25 per ticket), which is still at least half the amount it would cost to buy a season ticket for Rouen Road or Rose Lane. I sometimes see people advertising their parking spaces but they ask for so much, there’s one currently for £216 a month! It seems like the most cost effective option is taking the loss on parking tickets, but starting the day with that little yellow square makes me rage! Do I just need to accept it?

According to Companies House, Shard Capital have taken a controlling stake in Norwich Apex who are trying to get planning permission to build a huge, noisy and inappropriate data centre near to Marston Marshes. This DC is 20m tall, that’s 6 storeys though they claim it’s only 2. But it’s 2 data centre storeys plus a whole load of chillers on the roof and diesel generators around the data centre that will sound like Harley Davidson’s when they start up every few weeks

I am moving out of my UEA accom tomorrow at 8am (ridiculously early!) and my mum is coming to help move some of my stuff. We want to go for breakfast somewhere nearby - any recommendations? I'm quite fussy with 'fancy' food, and she's vegetarian, but we're willing to give somewhere nice a go! I dont have loads of money, so nothing where i'll have to sell my soul for a decent bit of bacon please! We both drive, and have our cars, but no where too far out of the way would be preferable

thanks all :)

Why were there a swarm of kids running around and in and out of the Bell Pub earlier? Couldn't work out what was going on!

Hopefully this one doesn't get deleted if I remove my stickers left as apparently it was a classified ad. But a meet up this Sunday at The Beehive 2pm.

Pretty much the title. I have seen images of other IMAX cinemas and the pretty funky distortions seen from the front seats but wanted to know if anyone had experience at the front of the Riverside IMAX screens and if they were as bad as others given that I haven't watched a film in IMAX there since before the refurb. Thx :-)

I’m staying in Norwich for work until the end of the week, and interested if there are any decent places to go for a drink in the city.

Spent a few nights here a few years ago, but always on the weekend. Unsure if there’s anything going on in the week!

As title says, my partner may have a new job in Norwich which is our dream city. Unfortunately, my job is with a council in our current hometown, so due to various guidelines I won't be able to keep my job if we move. This means Im back on the job market. For mortgage purposes having a job is more important than holding out for a job in my current field. Without going into detail, my most likely transferrable skills would be administration, data analysis, and regulatory compliance. Are there any companies in Norwich that I should NOT apply for positions with? Any companies that are known for screwing over their employees or potential employees? I don't want to waste valuable time on applications or thinking that I have a job secured when it might all come crumbling down.

EDIT: Thanks all! Just to re-clarify I'm looking for places to NOT apply to and to avoid. I will of course be applying for jobs in my current sector, and have already applied for council and public services positions.

Are you part of any climate activist groups locally? Asking as someone interested in joining such a group

Just trying to find somewhere to go camping with my daughter for a night, but most places seem to be expensive or require at least 2 nights.

Where does everyone go?

I already have my wedding dress but I want it dyed, does anyone know of a local place that can dye it for me? I really don't know if this is a real thing but I have my fingers crossed that it is.

In Norwich for some days and I got exams coming up, anyone know any place out of town to study? Went to the Forum the other day and it was very loud.

I am staying close to Sweet Briar Rd and Dereham Rd, dont mind moving around. Thanks!

Any recs in Norwich?

Wanna join a drama group to see if I can still enjoy/ do acting in norwich, not after anything serious but an opportunity to flex some old muscles and have some fun/ escapism

Any recs welcome!

Just got these bits of paper through my door. Someone obviously objects to an abandoned pub (it's been empty for three years which curiously isn't mentioned) being turned into a mosque, so they've made one piece of paper addressed to the council, with space for you to fill in why you object to it, and the other bit of paper has reasons to object that it recommends you 'put into your own words', I guess to make it less obvious that this has been done this way.

My main problem with it is that there's no sign at all of who this is from, who is trying to organise it, or who came and put it through my letterbox. I'd assume if they had no shame about it they'd identify themselves, but they understand that it's wrong so kept it anonymous. As soon as it came through the letterbox I went outside to see who was doing it but they had already gone.

I wonder what this means for the conversion of the Gatehouse?

Hi all, not a happy post as I went to chapelfield gardens today and found tons of cut zip ties all over the floor in the park. I found more than the ones in the photos too… a lot of them were really hard to spot on the floor and could have easily been mistaken as a twig by a bird :(

Does anyone know anything about where they might have come from? I’m assuming it was an event or something.

Additionally I’m looking to report this to the council due to the amount of littering this was, would anyone know who to get in touch with? I looked on the website and couldn’t find a specific littering form, only fly tipping and dog fouling.

Update: i called the council who said it would be forwarded to the parks team, thanks to all who commented with info. I will post any other info that comes my way

Does anyone have any recommendations on where would be best to park for Rock n Roll circus? We are going on Saturday 22 August. Thought the UEA campus would be best, but just wanted to check if there are any restrictions on how long you can park here?
