Flight of the Falcon

In August 2025, Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery celebrated an incredible community-led dance project: Flight of the Falcon.

Funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund, Flight of the Falcon was created through a series of workshops and culminated in a special inauguration of the recreated Norman spaces in Norwich Castle. The dance piece was inspired by a falcon’s journey through the rooms of the medieval castle keep.

Testimonials –
