It anchors the most complete medieval friary complex still standing in England. Norwich City Council runs it today as the largest of The Halls, a **Grade I listed** concert hall that seats around **600** under a high timbered roof. Stone walls and an open span give the room a long, warm resonance, the kind of acoustic that lets a raga settle and breathe. For anyone chasing live music in Norwich, few rooms put this much history behind the sound. **KalaSudha** comes back to Norwich every September for the [**Kala Festival**](/festival/kala-festival). Last year we filled **The Assembly House** on 19 September 2025 with *Norwich Ragas: Piano & Slide Guitar Unbound*, a double bill of ragas on piano and Indian slide guitar carried on tabla. The hall sold out, and the crowd stayed on between sets to talk over the music. This September the festival steps up to St Andrew's Hall. On **19 September 2026**, **Pandit Debasis Chakroborty** brings his Indian slide guitar to the hall for *Norwich Ragas: Slide & Strum on The Mystic Frets*, with guitarist Giuliano Modarelli, Dr Sam Evans on tabla, and RN Prakash on ghatam. The first half holds a classical raga set in Rupak and Jhaptal cycles, then the players open into fusion after the interval. You will find St Andrew's Hall a short walk from Norwich Market, the Forum, and the rail and bus stations, with pay-and-display parking close by on the surrounding streets. Book early for the best seats, and join us in [**Norwich**](/place/norwich) for a night of Indian classical music in one of the city's oldest rooms. ### Quick Facts Seating Capacity 600 ### Contact information [ Visit Website ](https://www.norwich.gov.uk/thehalls) [ Get Directions ](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=52.631241071633,1.2956400999997) ### Location & Directions St Andrew's Plain, Norwich, NR3 1AU ## Past Events Previous KalaSudha performances at this venue City St Andrew's Hall, Norwich Date SAT, SEP 19 ### [ Norwich Ragas: Slide & Strum on The Mystic Frets ](/en-gb/event/norwich-ragas-slide-strum-on-the-mystic-frets) GM [Giuliano Modarelli](/en-gb/artist/giuliano-modarelli) +3 more Early Bird [ View Details ](/en-gb/event/norwich-ragas-slide-strum-on-the-mystic-frets) City St Andrew's Hall, Norwich Date SAT, SEP 19 ### [ Norwich Ragas: Tabla Solo by Ustad Akram Khan ](/en-gb/event/norwich-ragas-tabla-solo-by-ustad-akram-khan) AK [Akram Khan](/en-gb/artist/akram-khan) +1 more Early Bird [ View Details ](/en-gb/event/norwich-ragas-tabla-solo-by-ustad-akram-khan) ## Frequently Asked Questions How do I get to St Andrew's Hall, Norwich?
