These include the Norwich Arts Centre, the Norwich Puppet Theatre and the Oak Circus Centre. The trust also works to ensure public access is maintained to these churches,
with some accessible daily, others viewable by appointment with the tenant and all are open during the annual Norfolk Heritage Open Days.
