Try something creative for your wellbeing this May in Norfolk

Norfolk Creativity and Wellbeing Week returns this May, celebrating the power of creativity and culture to support health and wellbeing across Norfolk.

Taking place from 19-25 May 2025, this annual national festival brings together events and activities that shine a spotlight on how creative experiences can support mental health, reduce isolation, and encourage connection.

In Norfolk, there's a fantastic selection of in person and online events delivered by Norfolk County Council's libraries, adult learning, museums and record office, alongside brilliant local artists and arts organisations. From craft workshops and dance to music, nature walks and creative writing - there's something for everyone.

Cllr Margaret Dewsbury, Cabinet Member for Communities and Partnerships, said: "Engaging with creativity is a powerful way to support our mental and emotional wellbeing. Norfolk Creativity and Wellbeing Week gives people of all ages and backgrounds a chance to try something new, connect with others, and experience the positive impact of creativity in everyday life. We're proud to showcase Norfolk's artistic talent and the joint efforts that make these events possible."

Whether you're keen to try a poetry session, a wellbeing walk, a hands-on craft class or a musical performance, this year's programme offers something for all ages and interests. Many events are free or low-cost, and designed to be inclusive and accessible.
