Events this weekend in Norwich this weekend 🔥

This weekend in Norwich isn’t about one giant, city‑shutting moment – it’s about a run of nights that all quietly slap. The feeds are full of soul, funk and loud guitars, and the stuff people are actually saving and sharing has a very clear theme: get out, find a floor, and don’t plan on an early one.

If you want big-night-out energy, the Craig Charles – Funk & Soul House Party is the one you book first. It’s that sweet spot between nostalgia and proper dancing: crates of classics, zero pretence, and the kind of crowd that actually shows up to move, not just film the DJ. In the same lane but with more purist vibes, A Night of Northern Soul and the Norwich Motown and Soul Night are where the serious dancers and vinyl obsessives gravitate – all shuffles, spins and people who very much know the words to everything.

Leaning into the Valentine’s chaos? The Valentines Soul Night is basically tailor‑made for couples who’d rather be on a sweaty dancefloor than at a white-tablecloth dinner. Expect loved‑up singalongs, a lot of red outfits and a decent number of mates-groups pretending they’re not emotionally invested in the slow jams. If that all sounds too wholesome, there’s a harder, darker route: The Crawling – Ael Fierlen – Hail – Dismara taking over the Brickmakers B2, the classic Norwich option when you want it loud, heavy and a bit feral on a Saturday.

For something looser and more low‑key, Those Deadbeat Cats at the Ribs of Beef is your best shout: riverside pints, rockabilly energy, and that laid‑back, turn-up-when-you-like vibe that works whether you’re on a first date or just avoiding doing a big shop. A lot of this weekend’s energy is circling familiar haunts like Space Studios, St Margaret’s Gallery and Cinema City – places that don’t just host nights but kind of define how you remember them on Monday.

Here’s what’s actually worth your time this weekend in Norwich:
- Craig Charles – Funk & Soul House Party: big, feelgood dancefloor, zero chill
- A Night of Northern Soul: for the proper soul heads and late‑night steppers
- Norwich Motown and Soul Night: singalong Motown hits and polish-your-shoes energy
- Valentines Soul Night: couples, situationships and slow‑jam chaos
- The Crawling – Ael Fierlen – Hail – Dismara at Brickmakers B2: loud, heavy, cathartic
- Those Deadbeat Cats @ Ribs of Beef: riverside rock’n’roll and beers, no pressure planning required
