A free family trail that celebrates the underwater world is set to make waves in a Norwich shopping centre.

The Under the Sea self-led trail will run at Chantry Place from Saturday, February 10 until Saturday, February 24 as part of the Norwich Science Festival 2024 programme.

Beth Lester, a recent graduate from Norwich University of the Arts, is creating the illustrations and it is based around ‘Great Britain’s Barrier Reef’ – the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds.
