The Venue - The Forum, Norwich

The venue for the Norwich screening Friday, 2nd December 2011 is -

The Curve, The Forum, 2 Millennium Plain, Bethel Street. Norwich. NR2 1TF

The Forum, Norwich, is one landmark destination with a unique mix of community resources, visitor experiences and conference, meeting and event facilities.

Designed by Sir Michael Hopkins, The Forum is a £65million project, built to mark the millennium in the East of England.

The landmark Millennium building for the East of England and a stunning example of 21st century design. The Forum sits on a pre-conquest settlement, inhabited by French settlers after the Norman invasion. During the Reformation the site was home to immigrants from the Low Countries - known as 'Strangers' they contributed significantly to Norwich's textile trade.

More recently Norwich Central Library was located here. Destroyed by fire in 1994, it provided the opportunity for massive archaeological excavations of the site. 

 

The main section forms an enclosing horseshoe, made from handmade load bearing bricks with several windows. The glass façade forms a stunning entrance and embraces the marvellous Gothic church tower of St Peter Mancroft.

A range of businesses and amenities are located in The Forum. BBC East's regional headquarters can be found here, together with the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library, and Norwich Tourist Information Centre (TIC).

In 2009 it opened a series of innovative community facilities including Fusion, Europe's largest permanent digital gallery with free public access and a state-of-the-art auditorium.

Different every day, The Forum also hosts a year-round line-up of free and ticketed events, exhibitions and entertainment.

Attracting over 2.5 million people each year, The Forum is home to an innovative programme of events and activities, many of which are free to enjoy.

 

The Curve, Norwich

Opened in 2009, The Curve auditorium is a stunning addition to The Forum's conference and event facilities. Purpose-built, with tiered seating for 120 people, the auditorium has hosted a diverse range of events from sophisticated multi-media presentations to simple debates and even small performances.

The auditorium has been thoughtfully designed to provide excellent sight lines, air conditioning, multiple lighting options and cushioned seats whilst being intimate enough to maintain audience engagement. It also boasts state-of-the-art features, such as full high definition technology, broadcast quality microphones, video conferencing, live TV and web streaming capabilities.

To complement these facilities, a cloakroom and reception area is located just outside of the auditorium. This space is ideal for catering and hospitality and offers plasma technology.
