A Garden Party...and everyone's invited

Saturday 09 May and Sunday 10 May 2009 11am - 5pm, Chapelfield Gardens, Norwich
The Norfolk & Norwich Festival Garden Party is a FREE two-day event at the heart of this year’s Norfolk & Norwich Children’s Festival. It is also a core part of the MG Free programme, sponsored by May Gurney.
An outdoor extravaganza packed full of free music, theatre, acrobatics and the downright bizarre, The Garden Party is for all ages and all tastes. Expect to see theatre and acrobatics to make you reel. Expect the kids to dance, make music or create something extraordinary. Expect to laugh until your belly aches.
For the weekend of the Garden Party, Chapelfield Gardens will be transformed into Festival Gardens: trees festooned with lights, market stalls selling food and drinks and Speak Easy, an outside bar for the grown-ups.
