Tim Bentinck supports the Norwich bid

“I’ve always had a soft spot for Norwich. When I was at university there we were doing theatre all over the place and always got good audiences and good support for it, so we’ve always thought the place to be a city of culture. The fact that I work in Birmingham, they are not going to like it that I’ve supported Norwich. It’s mainly because I was at university there and I’ve got a cottage in Norfolk and we’ve got family in Norfolk, so I’m a Norfolk boy at heart. My whole introduction to the very idea of culture was doing History of Art at the UEA.”
