Love West Norfolk 2026

Celebrating the people and place

9 years of celebrating the people and place.

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 the people, places, and communities that make West Norfolk so special through our social media channels.

You can still see and use previous year’s resources page for ideas, postcards and colouring sheets to get involved in showing how much you #LoveWestNorfolk.
