Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human
2026-06-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
This is the story of Homo sapiens… us
Host of BBC landmark show ‘Human’, Ella Al-Shamahi, palaeoanthropologist, TV presenter, explorer and stand-up presents a talk on our remarkable origin story.
Once upon a time we shared this planet with many species of human – it has been said that our world was a bit like Lord of the Rings. To start with we Homo sapiens weren’t that remarkable, our origins were in fact rather humble and yet somehow today we are the only ones left. But we didn’t just survive against all odds, we thrived, innovated and travelled like no other species of human – becoming the explorer species who built cities, iPhones and painted the Sistine Chapel. Our success was profound, but how on Earth did it happen and at what cost?
Ella Al-Shamahi started studying evolution as a creationist and so she interweaves her own story demonstrating the power of tribalism not just in the past, but also in the present. Expect a talk that draws on the latest discoveries, heart, humour and wild expedition stories.
Al-Shamahi is a National Geographic Explorer specialising in searching for fossils in Palaeolithic caves in politically unstable, hostile and disputed territories. She is the presenter of HUMAN, a flagship BBC/PBS science series as well as other TV and radio shows. She is also author of a Times/Sunday Times book of the year ‘The Handshake: A Gripping History’

The Magdalene Group Night-time Strut
2026-06-10 19:30 - 22:00 | The Forum, Norwich, Millenium Plain, Norwich, NR2 1TF, United Kingdom
Join The Magdalene Group for the 2026 Night‑time Strut, a powerful evening walk through Norwich raising awareness of VAWG.
Now in its third year, the Strut brings our community together to honour the women and girls whose lives have been taken by male violence and to stand in solidarity for a future free from sexual violence, abuse and harassment at every level in society.
With VAWG now accounting for nearly one in five recorded crimes in England and Wales, this event is more urgent than ever. Building on the impact of last year’s Strut, we gather once again in remembrance, action and hope.
The government’s VAWG strategy is to half the number of women and girls affected by violence, reducing VAWG by 50% does not go far enough–this year to date, 107 women have been killed. This femicide must stop and our work will not be done until there is zero tolerance.
– Suzi Heybourne, CEO, The Magdalene Group
Date: Wednesday 10th June 2026
Time: Assemble 7:30pm
Location: Millennium Plain Norwich
Entry fee: £10.00
Supported by Norwich City Football Club: This year, the Night‑Time Strut is proudly supported by Norwich City Football Club. Their involvement strengthens our focus on the essential role men play in ending VAWG.
True change requires men to be active allies, speaking up, standing up, and showing up. By walking together, we amplify the message that safety, respect and equality are everyone’s responsibility. When communities show up, attitudes shift and safety becomes something we build, not just hope for.
The route: coming together at Millennium Plain: The walk begins at Millennium Plain and leads participants through Norwich city centre towards Carrow Road, the home of Norwich City Football Club, where walkers will pause for a short break. From there, we will return together to Millennium Plain for an evening of remembrance and reflection. At the end of the route, participants will be joined by the uplifting Invidia Voices Rock & Soul Choir, whose performance will set a powerful and unifying tone for the evening. Norwich poet Helen Ivory will then share a poem written in response to violence against women and girls. This will be followed by a moving reading of the names of women and girls who have lost their lives to male violence over the past year, a moment at the very heart of the Strut. These collective reflections highlight the importance of awareness, education and community action.
Tickets & other ways to support our work: Tickets are £10, with all proceeds going directly towards The Magdalene Group’s work supporting vulnerable women and girls affected by violence, exploitation and coercion.
Take Part as an Organisation: Invite your organisation to take part as a team and show up for change. Standing together demonstrates shared responsibility for ending violence against women and girls.
If you’re unable to join us on the night, you can still make a meaningful difference by:
* sharing the event with friends, family or colleagues
* donating the value of a ticket to support our work
Your support truly matters. Demand for our services continues to grow, and together we can help make Norwich a safer place for women and girls.
