Norwich – The City of Stories

Norwich, The City of Stories is our place brand, and launched officially in 2019.

City of Stories is a tribute to Norwich’s literary firsts: England’s first UNESCO City of Literature; the first woman to write a book in English; the University of East Anglia (UEA) which pioneered the first Creative Writing MA; and the only National Centre for Writing in the country.

Always moving, always innovating, always growing. And always with a story to tell. Today, the City of Stories celebrates Norwich’s new narrative: a place of unique perspectives, soaring spires and pub fires. A place you don’t pass by but go to by choice. See new branding on wayfinding signs, the printed city map, and on the VisitNorwich, Norwich BID and Work in Norwich websites, as well as in our seasonal tourism campaigns. In 2020 ‘ Norwich, the City of Stories’ was a finalist in City Nation Place’s ‘Place Brand of the Year’ awards, and we’re continually investing in our place brand to give Norwich the best platform on which to shine.

We’re a city that celebrates the independent, stimulates creativity, promotes change and encourages diversity. We’re the City of Stories, and we always have new stories to tell.

As a city full of pride, join us on this page turning journey and get involved – what would you like see, how would you like to see Norwich grow and develop? – let us know, we would love to hear from you…
