Save the Date! Festival of Thetford & Punjab 2026

Friday 17 Jul 2026 - Sunday 19 Jul 2026

We’re gearing up for the
Festival of Thetford & Punjab 2026!

This year’s Festival will take place 17-19 July 2026

The Festival of Thetford & Punjab is a cross-cultural celebration inspired by the people of Thetford and the Duleep Singh family, the last Royal Family of the Punjab who lived in nearby Elveden.

We’re currently working on the programme, which will be announced in mid June. Get ready for a weekend of exciting events at Ancient House Museum, Thomas Paine Hotel’s Annual Curry Night, and the Thetford Mela, a day of music, performance and dance at Thetford Grammar School.

We’re also teaming up with Art La’Olam to create a series of wonderful workshops to warm you up in the run up to the festival, with music, dance and textile art for all to enjoy.
