Come down to the amazingly atmospheric Shoe Factory Social Club on St Mary’s Plain and shuffle the night away to swing, R&B, jazz, jive and more! Our DJs, Barry ‘Bemoozed’ Moody and Andy AV8 will be playing music that will keep you on the floor all night long, so if you’re need of a little rhythm to heel your troubled soles, then The Shoe Factory Social Club is the p-lace to be!

So if you have plans for Saturday 31st August, make sure you give them the boot, because this is the social that will set tongues a-wagging!

£6 entry

The Shoe Factory Dance will be a BYOB event! There will be a small quantity of soft and alcoholic drinks available for purchase but please do bring your own as we’d hate for anyone to go thirsty…

St. Mary’s Works was one of the key factories in the Norwich Shoe making Industry.

From Saturday 14th September – Friday 20th September, the two floors of the factory will be open for visitors to come in, explore and view a small exhibition of historical photographs of the Norwich shoe industry.

The popular FRESH artisan market is back with local makers, bakers brewers and artists. Street food and a licensed bar make this a great place to meet up with your friends and buy beautiful and original craft.

Wild Paths is a multi-venue, city-wide music festival in the heart of Norwich; a weekend of events taking over all of the city’s best-loved music venues and showcasing an eclectic mix of emergent and established bands, DJs and artists.

The Shoe Factory Social Club will be hosting events both Upstairs and Downstairs, over the weekend.

There’ll be music from the likes of Jose Gonzalez, Simian Mobile Disco (DJ), The Magic Gang, Franc Moody, Crazy P (DJ), Yazmin Lacey, Ruby Rushton, Black Honey, Demob Happy, Anna Meredith and many more…

Alongside the music there’s also Wild Paths themed after-parties, drinks and networking events, open bowling parties, live art instillations and discussion panels (featuring artists and key figures from the music industry – such as Radio1’s very own Phil Taggart).

You can treat your tastebuds at local food pop-ups scattered across the festival site and wet your whistle with an exclusive Wild Paths beer, a Wild Paths cocktail or even a signature festival roast (coffee). All brought to you by the best local independent retailers.

The festivals mission is to bring artists of national and international notoriety to Norwich, and to shine a spotlight over the city and all the talent that resides here.

Scheduled to run from the evening of Friday 18th October (2019) until the night of Sunday 20th October, with exclusive pre-festival parties on Thursday 17th October.
