For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes This isn't 'a walk' as such, it's more a collection of interesting places in North Norfolk. Some are close to each other, but generally they tend to be quite far apart. You could walk between them, but it would take you a while! If you like this, please let your Twitter / X followers know about it: vtsw.uk/sw/nnch/x

The Castle Curators are a group of young people who, as part of the Royal Palace Reborn project, worked with Kick the Dust (KTD) Project Worker Rachel Daniel and Keep Project Curator Andrew Ferrara from October 2020 to design one of the new display cases for Norwich Castle Keep. At the start of January 2023, Andrew Ferrara & KTD Project Worker Amelia Long reached out to the group to see if they would like to build upon the work they had already done and create audio recordings about their chosen objects. Kendra & Ellie have both made recordings which have been linked to specific city locations that connect to their objects. We hope that you enjoy listening to their object's stories - taken out of the castle & into the city!

When Norwich was bombed: our city's untold stories from the WWII Baedeker Raids. To fully enjoy the experience, please walk slowly to allow time for the recording to finish before you leave the zone.

Norwich is a city of strangers. The YNA Collective want to unveil a city that is quite literally built on diversity and community by creating a unique audio tour of the city. 'Queer Norfolk Stories'is a Young Norfolk Arts project that celebrates the wonderful, extraordinary lives of local LGBTQ+ people, created by Sára Lapinova and Ellie Robson. We would like to say thanks to all those involved in helping to make this happen, including Deb, Nell, Tiah-Paige, Stevie and Shell, Sára and finally E.

Prophecies is an audio work about the future created by Artist Maddie Exton. Maddie has interviewed Jane Hedges (the Very Reverend of Norwich Cathedral), Penny Francis (a psychic medium), Vonnie Spooner (a spirit guide) and a group of 7 year olds from Earl Soham Primary School to ask them what the future looks like. Harnessing a range of voices, Prophecies will invite listeners into a moment of intimacy with each speaker and open a space for reconnecting with dreaming. The past year has plunged many into survival mode and Prophecies pushes us to be curious again. Religious spaces are a place people often look to for answers and hope, and as such, being set in the Cathedral grounds, the short trail can act like a modern pilgrimage. “In crises, we pray. Our engagement with religion continues to change, and I wondered how God can act as guidance in the modern world. In the dark days of post ww1 Britain, spiritualism became so popular it almost overtook the Anglican Church, and that same thirst for spiritual comfort has been mirrored during covid. I spoke to a spirit guide and a medium to see what messages and spiritual lessons we can take forward. Working with a group of children from Earl Soham Primary School, it was refreshing and surprising to see what the young think the world will look like in 25 years, allowing the content to be both playful and poignant, two things I always strive for.”

Sound Systems explores our very own individual theme tunes; the songs our nervous systems crave and sing. Produced by Roxanne Matthews and the BBC Voices team. You can discover the Young Norfolk Arts Collective’s own Sound Systems throughout Norfolk as part of the trail.
