This event has now sold out – why not check out our other upcoming networking events? Enjoy a morning of networking over breakfast as we bring over 80 businesses together at Dragon Hall, the home of the National Centre for Writing, to build new relationships through networking ice breakers. We are delighted to partner with the National Centre for Writing for the morning. We will be in their beautiful venue, the 15th century Dragon Hall, soaking up history and hearing from their Chief Executive, Chris Gribble and Hannah Garrad, Programme Manager. Chris and Hannah will talk about the vital impact culture has on the local, regional and national economy. The National Centre launched in 2018 but the organisation has a much longer history, having led the bid for Norwich to be recognised as a UNESCO City of Literature in 2012. Their work focuses around three aims; Learning – working with young people across Norwich & Norfolk to encourage a life-long love of books and stories through projects such as Poems in Care Homes and the Young Norfolk Writing Competition. Through their Artistic aim, they work with upcoming writers and translators providing mentoring and support and finding new ways to engage people with literature. Through Place they seek to celebrate Norwich as a world-leader for creative writing, and develop tourism projects designed to support the local economy – such as their annual crime writing festival, Noirwich, which attracts hundreds of visitors to Norwich each year.
