The number of free bandstand concerts taking place in city parks this summer has been doubled due to popular demand.
The concerts are now into their ninth year and their popularity demand was highlighted in the first event of the summer on Sunday, June 3, at Waterloo Park which attracted more than 200 people.
Norwich City Council has teamed up with Brian Dermott, who plays in the Norwich City Concert Band to draw up the programme.
He said: “It's really great to see people of all ages from the community bringing picnics along and listening to a very high standard of music. Let's hope the sunshine lasts throughout the rest of the summer.”
Concerts take place at 3pm on the following dates:
