The building is named after the first black circus proprietor in Britain and the reception foyer will contain a poetry wall telling the story of Mr Fanque, in addition to a large neon sign of The Beatles lyrics from the song ‘For The Benefit of Mr Kite’ which mentions Mr Fanque. The opening of the building coincides with Norwich being named one of the ‘Six Cities of Circus’ to celebrate 250 years of circus.
