Lord Mayor’s Weekend 2025
Pack your picnic blankets, grab your sunglasses, and get ready for a blooming brilliant weekend as Lord Mayor’s Weekend transforms Norwich city centre from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 July 2025! This year’s vibrant theme, “Summer in the City,” takes inspiration from global celebrations while inviting everyone to showcase what summer in Norwich means to them—whether it’s fun days in the park, the buzz of festivals, or the joy of a day by the river.
This year, we’re thrilled that Norwich Summer Sessions will help kick-off Lord Mayor’s Weekend on Friday 11 July! Join us at Hay Hill and be treated to live music from some of our finest local performers – Find out more.
One of the weekend’s most spectacular highlights is the Lord Mayor’s Procession—a vibrant parade brimming with colour, energy, and imagination. Entries are now open, inviting local groups, schools, businesses, and organisations to bring the “Summer in the City” theme to life. Whether through flourishing floral displays, playful beach-inspired floats, or dazzling sun-soaked performances, this is your chance to make your mark on a much-loved tradition.
