Harassment
We want everyone who comes to Norwich Arts Centre to have a great time. We want you to relax, listen to the music, enjoy time with friends, meet nice new people and feel part of our community without fear of, or without experiencing harassment.
We take a zero tolerance approach to behaviour that is intimidating or humiliating and you are not welcome at the venue if you behave in this way.
We would like to assure you that our team are trained and dedicated to ensuring our customers feel safe. Please talk to us about any concerns you have.
Norwich Arts Centre has a dedicated safe space away from all other visitors and protected by trained staff.

Please ‘Ask for Angela’ or request access to our safe space if you need it, for any reason.
Spiking

We have cup lids should you require them.
