Love West Norfolk 2026

Celebrating everything West Norfolk

Traditionally marked on a single day (14 February), last year we realised that one day was not long enough and held a two-week celebration in July, culminating on Norfolk Day (27 July). For its ninth year, we’re going even further, Love West Norfolk will cover a full summer season of events and activities across the borough.

This year, Love West Norfolk will run from Wednesday 22 July to Saturday 22 August 2026, celebrating absolutely everything that makes West Norfolk so special.
