City of Stories Summer Trail

Discover a City of Stories through the 2026 Norwich Summer Trail

From historic streets with award-winning bookshops to our very own Paddington, Norwich has long been known as the City of Stories. To celebrate this National Year of Reading, VisitNorwich is inviting budding book lovers to seek out clues hidden across the city. Make a day of it or spread out your visits throughout the holidays.

Launching on 18th July and running until 31st August, the City of Stories Summer Trail will guide visitors across the city centre, searching out storybooks and clues to be in with the chance of winning some exclusive prizes! Along the way, families may even uncover tales from Norwich’s incredible past, inviting them to soak it all in, stopping at local landmarks, welcoming shops or for a tempting treat at our many independent eateries.

YALM is delighted to be taking part in the trail so pop along, pick up a map and start cracking the code…
