The organisers of this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival have scaled to new heights for the launch night.
To mark the start of the 2019 festival, which celebrates music, art and theatre from Norfolk and across the world, a nail-biting stunt will be performed in the city on Friday May 10 at 9pm.
Circus artist Chris Bullzini will go on a 230-metre long journey from Jarrold, across Norwich Market, to the top of the market accompanied by a live soundscape.
Called The Journey, Mr Bullzini will use no harness and the performance will celebrate Norwich, its history and its people.

There will also be an exclusion zone around the high-wire artist that will limit pedestrian access between 8pm and 10pm.
Norwich Market will close at 8pm and organisers are advising attendees to plan the area you would like to view the performance in advance.
