Fringe Launch Party
The Fringe launch party was a great success in spite of the weather. In true village fête style it rained all day and evening but the party flourished with a great range of performances and a film of the City Art Trail venues, plus all the fun of the fête - duck hooking, face painting, juggling, mono-cycles and flamenco, even the ever-popular cake stall. At the same time, the Norwich 20 Group were having their closing party so there was even some art to see. Have a look here for some photos.
