WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER? OVER 50 FREE EVENTS ACROSS NORWICH #FLINTSPIRATION @FLINTSPIRATION FLINTSPIRATION.ORG FLINTSPIRATION : CELEBRATING NORWICH’S MEDIEVAL CHURCHES | 3 WELCOME Welcome to Flintspiration, an exciting festival celebrating Norwich’s medieval churches. Inspired by the flintwork which decorates so many, it is an opportunity to discover and appreciate the largest collection of medieval churches in Northern Europe. Whether your interest is in church buildings, their past history, the religious or secular activities that go on in them, or you simply want to know more about a church you often pass, Flintspiration is for you and your family – it’s a weekend to enjoy Norwich’s medieval heritage. Organised by the Norwich Historic Churches Trust, the Diocese of Norwich and other partners, and funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Flintspiration includes: a comprehensive exhibition of the development of the churches in Norwich; displays, performances and entertainments; free guided walks featuring a selection of the city’s churches; and self-guided trails you can follow over the weekend or at your leisure afterwards. There is also an extensive programme of events for children. Enjoy the weekend!
