The King’s Centre Norwich

Serving our city since 1997

Serving Norwich with heart and hospitality

Since 2003, The King’s Centre has stood as a vibrant gathering place in the heart of Norwich. Owned and operated by King’s Community Church, our space is brought to life every day by a dedicated team of staff and local volunteers. We took over the historic Norwich Lads’ Club site in 1997, a building that has proudly served and supported the Norwich community for generations.

Carrying that legacy forward, our heart for the city goes far beyond offering great coffee. We cater to events of every scale, offering a versatile range of spaces, from intimate meeting rooms for focused team catch-ups and mid-sized spaces for workshops, all the way up to our impressive 650-seater auditorium for large conferences and major events.

Through our Serving People, Saving Lives initiative, profits generated by our venue and coffee shop are poured directly back into the community, funding local projects that empower individuals and help break the cycle of poverty.

We want every visitor to feel welcomed and valued. We are proud to honour this building’s community roots, remaining deeply committed to serving the people and city of Norwich for years to come.
