Discover Cromer
Cromer is our home and so we know it better than anywhere...
The 'Gem of the Norfolk Coast' is the perfect traditional seaside town with an up and coming high street boasting North Norfolk's first cocktail bar, the iconic Pier, bustling tea shops and fantastic chips.
With its rich heritage of fishing, Lifeboats and famous for its crabs, Cromer has so much to offer when it comes to enjoying and learning about our coastline.
There are a few 'must do' activities while in Cromer, perfect for children but just as much fun for adults
- Crabbing off the pier (please look after our little crabbie friends and follow the guidance on safe handling and removing)
- Surfing/paddleboarding
- Watching a show at the Pavilion Theatre
Cromer Carnival August
There is a week of activities for families, opportunities for dressing up, a funfair and fireworks as well as the brilliant carnival procession itself. There's a real buzz in the town all week, it's definitely the highlight of the summer. Book early for this as families come back again and again.
Crab and Lobster Festival
Celebrating what Cromer is best known for, this festival is perfect for foodies with many of the restaurants and cafes get involved with special seafood dishes on their menus.
1960's Weekend
This vintage festival was hugely successful in 2019, and sadly cancelled in 2020.
Stalls selling vintage clothes and homeward, food stalls on the pier, a dance display, live music and a vintage vehicle display on the promenade make this a fantastic fun event.
Folk on the Pier
17-19th September 2021(check dates online, usually May time)
Tea and Coffee Shops
Hatters Tea Shop is a gorgeous spot for tea, coffee and delicious cake. With its quaint mismatched china, spectacular hand made afternoon teas and a warm welcome for dogs, Hatters is the perfect place to warm up after a windy walk on the beach.
