Enjoy the ‘City of Stories’ Book Benches – 8 book shaped benches in key locations in Norwich city centre.

Acting as both functional street furniture as well as stunning public art, the 8 installations are each unique and beautiful. The benches compliment and capitalise on the Norwich’s status of Unesco ‘City of Literature’ and Norwich “The City of Stories” brand (Shortlist City Nation Place Award). They provide opportunities for you to follow a new, free, and walkable city trail, available throughout the year, and encourages visitors to explore new areas of the city while offering unique photo opportunities and opportunity to learn more about the city.

Each bench either illustrates a local piece of literature with connections to the region, a story to compliment the location the benches are situated (past or present) and/or is themed more generally around literature and the printing industry.
