Crab & Lobster Festival 2023

It is hoped that this event last staged in 2019 will finally return in 2023. For the last decade and more it’s been pincers at dawn between neighbouring fishing towns Cromer and Sheringham. The festival has brought the twons of Cromer and Sheringham together to celebrate the bounty of the North Sea and the world-famous seafood produced by both coastal resorts.

Recently hailed by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the best food festivals in the UK, the seafood spectacular stars local delicacies from the deep and attracts more than 20,000 people to north Norfolk every year.

Traditionally the vents kicks 0ff with the Grand Opening Variety Concert at the Pier Pavilion Theatre in Cromer. There’s a host of events, including heritage demonstrations, a cookery theatre, the “Bootiful” Boat Art Trail and the Scrumptious Seafood Trail which includes more than 35 local restaurants, cafés, pubs and snack bars.

There’s also a street market packed with local produce, live music during the day and at night, street performers, heritage and seafaring crafts and children’s activities.
