Fan Activities
Something for everyone across both days
Footy Fest @ the Forum is packed with things to see, do, and experience. Whether you're 8 or 80, there's a piece of the beautiful game waiting for you.
Roman the Football Freestyler
Get ready to be amazed. Roman is one of the UK's most exciting football freestylers, and he's bringing his incredible skills to The Forum, Norwich across both days of Footy Fest 2027.
Expect jaw-dropping tricks, lightning-fast footwork and an ability to get the crowd on their feet — from neck stalls and around-the-worlds to gravity-defying volleys. Whether you're a lifelong football fan or bringing the kids along for the day, his performances are not to be missed.
Roman will be performing throughout both days of Footy Fest, so there will be plenty of chances to catch him in action on Millennium Plain. Audience participation is always welcome — if you think you've got the skills, step up!
