Join us an hour before standard opening for a chance to explore our galleries at a more relaxed pace. We'll dim the lights and reduce video and audio where we can. There'll also be a comfy quiet space in case you need a few minutes out. Our friendly front of house team will be there to give you a warm welcome and support your visit. Quiet Hour may particularly suit visitors who are Neurodivergent and prefer a calmer, quieter sensory environment. Please note: At 1pm, our audio, video and lighting in the museum will return to standard levels. Visitors joining us for Quiet Hour are most welcome to stay and continue exploring the galleries if they wish. Norwich Castle Café will open at 1pm.

Join us for an illustrated talk with artist Daniel & Clara about their exhibition The Lost Estate, currently on display at Norwich Castle. The Lost Estate is a new photographic series which explores the relationship between humans and the natural world through imagined narratives taking place in the gardens of a country estate. Join the artist for a journey through their creative process and research, including how they took inspiration from the Norfolk landscape and the historic landscape painters in Norwich Castle's collection. Since meeting in 2010 Daniel & Clara have dedicated themselves to a shared life of creative experimentation, working across moving image, photography, performance and mail art to explore the nature of human experience, perception and reality. The camera is their primary tool, working with both digital and analogue, still and moving images, to investigate the role the photographic image plays in how we create meaning and make sense of the world arou
