Our Little Norfolk Studio offers a range of café experiences, clubs, workshops, events, entertainment, and is available for hire.

Since opening in December, we have had glowing feedback. Our customers want us to keep the Studio their secret. We just can help but want to shout about it. We’re nestled on the fringes of the spectacular Wymondham Abbey and we think it would be hard for anyone to argue that we have the best views in town.

We’ve a great line up of events and activities. From murder mysteries and comedy, to live music and Slowdown Sundays. There is something for everyone.

A social enterprise that hosted pop-up events during the pandemic has put down roots in a Norfolk town with a new community venue.

ClearCompany CIC has opened That Little Norfolk Shop and Studio in the former Wymondham Abbey Schoolroom building.

It has brought together ClearCompany's collective of artists and artisans under one roof and you can expect live music, workshops, wellbeing activities, street food and much more.

The social enterprise team has put in weeks of work preparing the building with donated materials and labour from businesses including Quickstep, B&Q, Dulux and local designer and decorator Andrew Crichton of Design & Decorate. 

The upper studio floor boasts stunning views of Wymondham Abbey and is equipped for live music, dining, workshops and relaxing wellbeing projects.

The lower floor is adapted to be a shop during the day that can accommodate events in the evenings.

Julie Briggs, founder director of ClearCompany CIC, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have made our home in the heart of the community we originally established ourselves in. 

"We have partnered with Wymondham Abbey, Wymondham Football Club and Kett's Park in recent years to create events that showcase Norfolk artists and producers.

"Opening our shop and studio in the shadow of the Abbey allows us to tailor events for community groups that unite people, skills and passions - it is a momentous development for us."
