Norwich will host one of the UK’s most distinctive live events this summer when Rock N Roll Circus brings its Big Top and festival village to Earlham Park for the very first time, running from Thursday 14 to Saturday 16 August 2025.
Unlike a standard music weekend, the event blends first class music acts with circus performances, workshops, market‑style street food, bars, family experiences and local artist showcases. The main stage is under cover in the Big Top tent, so no need to worry about the weather!
