Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Coltishall and Horstead

10 picks around Coltishall and Horstead, from 6 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Coltishall and Horstead

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Coltishall and Horstead, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.
