Afternoon Talk - Norwich Castle: Royal Palace Reborn - A Story 900 Years in the Making

The transformation of Norwich Castle's iconic Norman Keep is one of the largest UK heritage projects of recent years, generously supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It has enabled the rebuilding of the medieval floors and rooms so that visitors will be able to experience a Norman royal palace and its stories. The British Museum's first medieval gallery outside of London brings treasures of international importance to Norwich and for the first time everyone will be able to explore all 5 levels of the Keep - from basement to battlements. Join Project Manager, Hannah Jackson, to explore the fascinating history of Norwich Castle and to find out more about how the team approached this complex redevelopment in a building that has been permanently occupied for over 900 years.
