Community content

The Norwich Big Screen opened in July 2008 and has hosted lots of events since then.

The screen broadcasts news and content made by the local community including animations, photography, films and interactive games.

It also supported Comic Relief in March 2009 with a special whoopee cushion orchestra.

All events are free and many more locally organised activities are planned for 2009.

Other events that the screen has provided a focal point for in 2009 include a national poetry roadshow where people were encouraged to celebrate poetry and a Dig In event explaining more about gardening and how to look after your plot of land.

The screen has also shown films made by Norfolk schoolchildren and even a screening of High School Musical 3.

The screen is a public platform for both local and national talent. If you'd like more information about how to show your work on the screen please send us an e-mail.

The big screen is a partnership between LOCOG (the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games), Norwich City Council, the BBC and Chapelfield.
