Cinema City is part of City Screen:
"City Screen was formed in 1989 to provide cinemas that serve their communities in city centre locations. We are now the leading independent cinema operator in the UK."
"Independent, art-house and foreign-language films have always been central to our profile. Equally, each of our cinemas is programmed in response to its local audience, and most of our venues have mainstream blockbusters and quality crossover titles in the mix."
"Norwich Arts Centre is a small, independently run venue with charitable status (Charity No: 274803) situated close to the centre of Norwich."
"We aim to offer a broad range of performing and media arts of the highest quality to the community, together with a programme of participatory workshops and activities that offer good access to the arts."
There is a Café / Bar and the Centre has a free wifi public access point in the bar.
Norwich Playhouse
"Come and visit us at the theatre – a friendly, relaxed and intimate riverside venue developed from an old maltings."
"We programme a broad range of shows all year round, performed by top companies from all over the world. As well as being recognised as one of the very best comedy venues in East Anglia we present international music stars, critically-acclaimed drama companies, fun-filled children's events and shows that are just a bit…different. From firm musical favourites to fresh new writing, and from well-established stars to the pick of the newcomers, the Playhouse offers something for everyone."
"We have an award-winning garden – a beautiful spot on a summer evening – and two busy galleries exhibiting a variety of works by local artists. We also have a great bar, selling wines and spirits, local ales, fresh juices, hot cocktails, Fairtrade drinks and German beers with unpronounceable names. You can pre-order interval drinks and then stay afterwards for the lovely music, free Etch-A-Sketch and happy chatter of the clientele."
