Living in Norwich as a UEA student means never running out of things to do. The city is full of character, from the cobbled streets of the Norwich Lanes to the massive open-air market right in the city centre — perfect for grabbing street food or quirky vintage finds. There’s always something going on at the Norwich Arts Centre or the Theatre Royal, and if you're into live music, venues like The Waterfront and Epic Studios host everything from local bands to big names.

For a bit of history, you’ve got Norwich Cathedral and the Castle — both are stunning and worth a visit (especially if your family’s in town). When the sun’s out, Eaton Park is ideal for a lazy afternoon, or you can kayak on the River Wensum if you’re feeling adventurous. And the nightlife? From classic pubs like the Fat Cat to cocktail bars like Arboretum, there’s a vibe for every mood. Norwich might seem small at first, but it packs a lot in — and it's all just a quick bus ride from campus.
