The competition will be divided into two sections. The amateur event will run in the morning, and the professional cooking will take place in the afternoon. Both cooking sessions are open to the public, and there will be dumpling related activities and storytelling for children which will run at intervals throughout the day.

2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Luke Wright’s first gigs. To celebrate, he will be performing a very special show at Norwich Playhouse.
