With one month left until this years Norfolk Day, we’re asking individuals, community groups, attractions and businesses to think about how they might get involved.

With 2020 being such a tough year for so many, it now feels more important than ever celebrate how our county and its people have pulled together through the coronavirus outbreak.

With social distancing measures still being in place, we’re asking the people of Norfolk to get even more inventive in the ways they celebrate.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Have a Norfolk Day street party

With this years celebrations taking place under different circumstances, why not hold a socially distant street party to mark Norfolk Day?

Similar to the celebrations that marked VE Day, people could decorate their houses in yellow and black and have a picnic in their front garden.

This gives those who fought through the coronavirus pandemic together the chance to celebrate with each other.
