King Arthur Reimagined

Your journey begins outside in processional medieval folk, situating us in the landscape. Fanfares herald the hour-long performance in the Concert Hall and the performance ends by releasing you out into the spirit of folk pageantry.

A professional cast of singers join Norwich Baroque and Vanhulle Dance Theatre, performing alongside East Suffolk arts and educational organisations. An event filled with celebration, community merriment and shared entertainment, King Arthur Reimagined will be an inclusive, accessible shared cultural moment for all.
