BBC Norwich is the regional television and radio centre for Norfolk.
This is a fantastic chance to gain access to the rarely seen world behind the famous TV and radio programmes broadcast and produced from BBC Norwich at The Forum.
The tour includes a visit to the Look East TV studio and production gallery to find out what it is like behind the scenes of the BBC in Norwich - including a peek into the presenters' dressing-rooms. BBC Radio Norfolk will be broadcasting as your wander through the studios, and our new purpose-built Open Studio will give you the chance to try a hands-on interactive studio experience.
We will give you a real insight into a regional TV and radio broadcasting centre operation. Please remember that BBC Norwich is a working building so no two tours are the same, but they will always be informative, interesting and fun.
Tours last up to an hour and a quarter and involve a moderate amount of walking.
