Have you noticed how many community connecting words have the letters ART in them?

Heritage, Theatre, Market, Nature, Environmental, Crafts, Literature, Charity and Catering are just a few.

It’s for this reason that a new project is being planned for 18 – 26 April 2026, called Art is at the Heart of Wymondham and includes a celebration of St George’s Day on 23 April.

Wymondham has so much to offer in terms of events and activities. This is a fun way to encourage collaboration between community groups and businesses in the town.

The launch date has been chosen to coincide with the regular third Saturday Farmers, where London Marathon runner and Bread Stallholder, Matt Cowling, is inviting other Marathon runners to join him for a group photograph.

Elsewhere in the town on that day, Wymondham u3a are arranging a gathering of their arts-related interest groups in the Tiffey Room of Central Hall (10am – 1pm), whilst authors Samuel J White and Jack Gregory will be running another of their “Meet the Authors” events in the Abbey Hall (10am - 2pm).

This time, the writers are teaming up with That Little Norfolk Shop and Studio, across the road, to give author presentations in the upstairs cafe.

The popular Norfolk Creations team will be returning to Wymondham Arts Centre with their Arts and Crafts Fair to coincide with the project period.

Later in the week, Wymondham Players will present their latest drama production from 22 – 25 April in Central Hall, and that will also be the venue for a Tribute Band concert, featuring the alternative Paul McCartney, on Sunday 26 April at 7:30pm.

Look out for news of a possible Later Night Shopping event (up to 6pm) on St George’s Day, where shops and offices in the town centre will be running free competitions.
