Join our network of Norfolk organisers
Sharing stories, celebrating communities and bringing people together is at the heart of the festival. Around 200 organisers from organisations, businesses and voluntary groups take part in Norfolk HODs, giving their time and expertise to showcase the very best of the county’s rich history to local visitors and those from further afield.
In return, taking part in the festival can offer a range of opportunities your organisation can benefit from including:
reaching new and diverse audiences
securing donations
a gateway to the heritage sector to encourage future visits
national, regional and local PR as part of a nationwide festival
meeting and inspiring potential future volunteers
connecting with other local organisations and communities
