UEA will return to the Norfolk Showground on 24 and 25 June for this years’ Royal Norfolk Show - offering visitors the chance to explore our wide-ranging impact across the region.
The University contributes £559 million to the regional economy each year, driven by our work in research, innovation, skills development, and partnerships that shape the county’s future.
Across the two-day show, visitors will be able to find UEA showcasing our work in several dedicated zones, each highlighting a different aspect of our contribution to society and the local economy.
In the Business Zone, attendees can speak with UEA’s research, innovation and business teams about collaborations, partnerships, and opportunities for growth. Information will also be available on careers, apprenticeships, and pathways into employment at the University.
The Innovation Hub will demonstrate how UEA translates ideas into real-world impact, connecting businesses with academic expertise and commercial innovation.
Families and curious minds can head to the STEMM Village, where UEA researchers will bring science to life through interactive exhibits and hands-on experiments suitable for all ages.
Visitors looking to stay active can explore the Sports Zone, showcasing facilities and opportunities available through UEA’s Sportspark, while the Wellbeing Zone will feature health and medical science teams, highlighting how the university is training the region’s next generation of healthcare professionals.
UEA’s presence at the Royal Norfolk Show reflects its commitment to being “part of Norfolk, for Norfolk,” demonstrating the tangible ways it supports communities, businesses, and public services across the region.
The University invites visitors to come along, engage with its work, and discover how its research and expertise are making a difference locally and beyond.
