From the 28th July The Norwich Society, in conjunction with the Norwich evening News, is running a quiz commemorating the Elizabethan visit. The quiz can be printed from the Norwich Society website. It can also be collected from a number of venues including : The Tourist Information Centre, Jarrolds, The Millennium Library, Cafe 91 and the King of Hearts. We do hope you enjoy taking part in both the events and the quiz itself.
