Be More Mancroft | Podcast Guru

Details

Welcome to Be More Mancroft – the podcast from St Peter Mancroft Church in the heart of Norwich with Edward Carter and Judy Ball. This first series takes you behind the scenes of HIDDEN, a powerful new art installation suspended in the nave. We’ll hear from the people bringing it to life – artists, clergy, volunteers, and visitors – as we explore the stories we all carry, and the ones waiting to be uncovered. We'll also be looking at summer life in Norwich and finding out if there ever was a Peter Mancroft!

Norwich Market At 900 With Promenade Theatre

Norwich Market is older than the church beside it, and that single fact changes how you see the centre of the city.

I’m joined by Rachel Hobson to talk about On The Huh, a new community theatre production from Common Lot Community...
