Hello, Norfolk! 🤝
This week’s insider has so much to offer. Free tickets, local updates, and all the events you could possibly want.
Every week, I’m reminded how lucky we are to live in a place with this much heart. From community events to thoughtful contributions from readers, Norfolk keeps showing up — for each other, and for the joy of being connected.
Thanks for being here. Let’s dive into what’s happening this week in our beautiful county.
