Welcome to a feast of fun,
food, art, music & entertainment

The Crab & Lobster Festival is a weekend celebration of the coastal towns of Sheringham and Cromer - the unrivalled combination of North Norfolk's premier seaside towns.

The aims of the Festival are to involve people who live and work here, helping foster a real sense of community (and fun), raise money for local charities, and benefit local businesses by attracting more visitors to this wonderful part of the world.

Cromer and Sheringham's crab and lobster fishing industries have supplied England with a rich abundance of crustacea since the early 19th Century, and in May 2010 North Norfolk saw the first ever celebration of these most local and delicious delicacies. Three wonderful days and nights united the two rival fishing towns for a fabulous fun-filled series of events, competitions and entertainment. Visitors flocked in, joined in. . . and wanted more. . .

So we did it again in 2011...

and we're doing it again in 2012!

New dates for your diary:
18-20 May 2012

(Friday night to Sunday Night)

The Festival's team of volunteers from both towns aim to make the next Crab & Lobster Festival as successful, memorable, fun, entertaining and informative as the first two. It's such a great way to get together and celebrate our way of life here... and a great opportunity to encourage visitors to come along and enjoy what we have to offer during the early part of the season.
