This place is lovely. The building has such a beautiful view. The library is large and staff are friendly. I mostly use their audiobooks. But it feels so good to sit upstairs and enjoy the view while you are reading a book as well. There is a cafe and restaurant too. They often have exhibitions in the large hall at the entrance. In front of the building you often see someone playing music. It’s just behind the large market. They also have a good parking.

Makers Festival Very interesting to see and lots of people to help you learn

The night security Helená is the most lovely and amazing woman that you can meet, she was incredibly helpful at a time when it was needed and I wish I could show my appreciation in more than just a positive review

Great place. Such an amazing building to mark the millennium! Well done Norwich!

Nice place to read and spend time. Close to everything you might need.

Great place to visit.

Always plenty to do here depending on which day it is especially Thursday and/or Friday. There are leaflets and catalogues that tells you what's on at any one time and not least the internet of course, innit.

I stopped by today to see the Gaming Festival and it was better than I imagined it could be. There was loads to do and people to speak to about the industry.

Been going to the forum since it first opened. Love the extensive library and facilities and it is a great place to use as a meeting place. Toilets have always been clean and nice when o have been in and there is a great atmosphere when there is am event on! A lovely building all round! :)

Bright and airy feel, nice restaurant and cafe, great library, nice shop for trinkets and Norwich-themed gifts, great art exhibitions sometimes. Downsides are (1) there's almost always a queue for the ladies loos at the weekend - suggest that they have too few loos for the demand, (2) the parent and child parking spaces are no wider than standard parking spaces which means that you can't open car doors wide to make it easier to get kids/baby car seats in and out, and (3) only 1 lift which means there can be a long wait for the lift at busy times - a pain if you are a buggy / pram / wheelchair user or cannot use the stairs for any reason.

A wonderfully modern piece of glass architecture enclosing the Norwich library. Events such as the Norwich Gaming Festival, open air ice rink and continental fairs can be held within the huge atrium and outside on the large paved area. A very pleasant place to go for a meal or coffee or just to hang out.

nice and well equipped public library inside, on the 1st floor. It lends books (free of charge) and movies, board games, etc (for a price from 2 pounds). There are always some expositions or events on the ground floor. And also a café upstairs.

Interesting shared exhibition space, mezzanine restaurant, BBC local radio station and other things l didn't get to see. I wouldn't say it was easy access throughout for wheelchair users or the less mobile as there are many angular turns from one area to another but there are lifts that bring you up from the car parking area directly to the mezzanine. I photographed some interesting cross reflections that make St Peters church look like a space ship is landing nearby. It's a very pleasant view and l imagine it's a great place to launch an exploration of Norwich from.

The architecture of what is on paper a library and a radio station, is astounding. The huge glass exhibition space is always a thriving hub of unique people and creativity day in day out. The forum's exhibition space always has something new to display, and you can almost guarantee that if you turn up on a saturday, you'll love what you see, from car shows to street food festivals and arranged street music with people dancing outside in the fresh air, there's always a brilliant atmosphere here which makes you just want to stick around.
