The Forum is upgrading the facilities, and installing a state-of-the-art accessible Changing Places Toilet. Whilst the renovation is completed, the toilets on the ground floor will be closed. There will be a limited number of temporary toilets available outside the building. Please bear with us as we improve the building - this is essential work.
For those attending events in The Forum's Auditorium, facilities are available on -2 floor. Just ask a staff member for any help.
Thank you for your patience as we make vital improvements to our facilities.
Temporary Toilets | Open from... |
Monday - Saturday | 9am - 5pm |

Norwich Science Festival tickets can only be booked online on our website at norwichsciencefestival.co.uk. We are not able to take bookings over the phone or in person.
There is a limit of maximum ten tickets per transaction. If you wish to book more tickets, you will need to complete another transaction.
Please note that some bookings are made via our booking system, Ticketsolve, and other events must be booked directly through our partner venues, such as Norwich Theatre.
Please show your ticket (printed or mobile) on entry to the event, or give your name which will appear on a customer list.
All tickets are sent out electronically via email. If you haven't received a confirmation email, please check your junk or spam folder. If you still can't find it, please email science@theforumnorwich.co.uk or the venue through which you bought the ticket.
We recommend early booking for Norwich Science Festival events, as many shows will sell out.
Tickets can be bought on the day at the Information Desk in The Explorium at The Forum, where card and cash payments can be taken.
Tickets can also be bought online via our website right up until the time of the event, using a mobile phone. You will need to be connected to data or WiFi to purchase tickets online.
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer cash ticket sales on the door at our events. Please check the website for updates regarding whether events are fully booked.
We have kept ticket prices as low as possible for all tickets sold by Norwich Science Festival, and so do not offer concessions. Many events are free.
For tickets sold by other venues, e.g. Norwich Theatre, please see their website for terms and conditions regarding concession tickets.
The maximum number of tickets that can be booked per event per customer is 10. If you would like to bring a larger group, please email science@theforumnorwich.co.uk with information about your party, size, number of tickets required and any access requirements, and we will see what we can do.
Refunds are not offered for paid-for events, unless an event is cancelled or postponed.
Occasionally, events may be cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond the organisers’ control. In the event of cancellation of pre-book events, every endeavor will be made to contact ticket holders and refunds will be offered. We regret that we may not be able to offer an alternative for cancelled events. Please check the website for up-to-date event information.
Admission to the event is at the discretion of the event organiser.
Events will run in line with local and national government guidelines at the time of the Festival.
If you have access requirements and need someone to accompany you to make your visit to a Norwich Science Festival event easier and more comfortable, an additional Essential Companion ticket can be booked for our paid-for events.
Check each individual event listing for information on how to book a free Essential Companion ticket. For events where tickets are purchased direct with the venue, e.g. Norwich Theatre, please check their website for details on how to book Essential Companion tickets.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a waiting list service, as we do not have a box office able to deal with this.
We have included an approximate age recommendation for all events, based on the content and level of understanding required. Please note that some events are for ages 16+ and 18+ only.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
If you are booking tickets directly with Norwich Science Festival, our booking platform Ticketsolve will prompt you to enter any accessibility requirements during the checkout process.
You can also contact a member of the team to discuss access requirements at science@theforumnorwich.co.uk. It may be helpful to provide your name, number in party, number in party with specific requirements (e.g. wheelchair place required), and what type of ticket(s) you have booked (if more than one price point). We'll then liaise with the venue to ensure that there are places reserved for your party. On arrival at the event, please identify your party to our event staff, and you'll be shown to the reserved places.
