From being granted Royal Charters to serving as the center for local courts, tax collection, and administration thanks to its Guildhall, the city has a rich legal and civil history. The legacy continues this season as The Jury Experience Norwich heads to Epic Studios, putting you all in the jury box. It is an immersive courtroom event where you hear the case, weigh the evidence, and help decide the verdict yourself.
Over the coming months, you can step into a world of sharp arguments, uneasy silences, and questions with no easy answer. Multiple cases are available, each unfolding as its own standalone trial, so every visit brings a different knot of doubt to untangle. What happens when facts clash, motives blur, and responsibility refuses to sit neatly in one place?
The Jury Experience in Norwich: What trial is on?
Death on the Port Side
A fatal late-night speedboat crash leaves one friend dead, another in a coma, and the accused shielded by the glare of political privilege. In this trial, you sit with evidence that never settles cleanly: was it a reckless accident, or something more deliberate? Accounts shift, loyalties fray, and memory feels as unstable as the water that night. As the jury, you weigh power, friendship, and contradiction line by line, deciding which testimony holds—and where responsibility truly lands.
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is an interactive live courtroom show where you become part of the decision-making, listening to arguments, weighing evidence, and voting on the final verdict as moral and psychological tension builds. Multiple fictional cases are available, each a standalone trial, which gives the experience strong replayability alongside professional performances and a concise 60–75 minute format. It is recommended for ages 12+.
Some decisions never feel simple. As the evidence builds and perspectives begin to shift, you are left to weigh not only what happened, but what feels fair. That pressure—of judgment, doubt, and responsibility—is what stays with you when the case closes, so better be mindful as your decision has consequences.
The experience will be held on select dates at Epic Studios, a former ITV broadcast studio turned theatre, with two showings scheduled for 16:00 and 18:00. Tickets are sold in tiers according to the proximity to the stage and seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
