Now the penguins are coming to Norwich


People are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for a colony of penguins across Norfolk this winter.

We've had elephants in Norwich, hippos are heading for Wymondham, camels visited Brundall last week and next it will be the turn of penguins.

Life-size emperor penguins brought to life with the artwork of poorly and disabled youngsters will be showing off their new looks at The Forum in the new year.

The sculptures, decorated by youngsters from Quidenham Children's Hospice, Sheridan House School in Southborough, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and Eagle House in Banham will be displayed from Wednesday, January 28 until Sunday, February 8.

Each group has created their individual animal sculptures by transferring the youngster's images on to the fibreglass
penguins through a series of art workshops.


I am sure that this will make an excellent photo opportunity & I hope to be able to visit the exhibition and take lots of pictures.

  1. Hi Lisa,

    I saw the elephants last year on a rare visit to Norwich and will be in Norwich early February so look forward to seeing to penguins.
