The Social (For ages 60+)

What is it?

Looking for a friendly place to meet, chat and try something creative?

The Social is a new monthly group for local adults aged 60+ at Norwich Theatre Royal. It is a relaxed and welcoming space to come together, enjoy refreshments, meet new people and take part in light creative activities inspired by arts, culture and conversation.

You do not need any previous theatre or creative experience to join. The group is about making new creative connections, with time to talk and share ideas. You are welcome to come on your own or bring a friend.

Dates and Times:

2 dates to choose from. Select the one that works best for you:

Wed 11 Nov
10am – 11:30am
The Octagon Bar, upstairs at Norwich Theatre Royal

Thu 12 Nov
5:30pm–7:00pm
The Meeting Room, upstairs at Norwich Theatre Royal

Both dates will follow the same format and cover the same content. They are being offered at different days and times to suit a range of preferences and availability.  Feedback from these sessions will help shape the date and time of future sessions.

Who it is for:
