An exciting opportunity for Norwich to show off its talent has arisen, as the nation's biggest talent contest rolls into the city.

ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent is sending its team to the Castle Mall to scour the city for its biggest talents.

Successful acts will then have the opportunity to audition in front of Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon in the 2017 competition, following in the footsteps of this year's winner Richard Jones.

Auditions are open to performers of all age and talents - from magicians to comedians, drag acts to singers, and acrobats to animals.

Auditions will be taking place at the shopping centre on Saturday October 22 from 12pm-4pm and children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
