the Pier show which opens in June.

In May, the town’s Crab and Lobster Festival holds a very popular art trail, lighting up the town in a blaze of colour and creativity.

Previously held in May but now moved to September, Norwich Open Studios offers local artists the chance to open their studios to the public, allowing people to see how they work.

It’s a perfect opportunity to purchase work direct from the artist themselves while gaining an insight into the creative process behind the end product.

The extremely popular Folk on the Pier, in May, is a fantastic celebration of folk music.

Cromer hit the headlines in August 2021 when elusive graffiti artist Banksy chose the town’s sea wall as the site for one of his famous pieces of work during what he has dubbed his ‘Great British Spraycation.’ The work depicts a group of hermit crabs with one in a shell holding up a sign stating ‘Luxury Rentals Only.’ North Norfolk District Council has applied a protective coating over the work to help preserve it from the elements for as long as possible. | 29

The ILB (inshore lifeboat) is kept in the renovated 1902 boathouse at the bottom of the Gangway.

The ILB covers inshore services for swimmers and small boat sailors up to its flank stations at Sheringham and Happisburgh.

The Cromer lifeboats have a long and distinguished service, with the names Henry Blogg, Henry 'Shrimp' Davies and Richard Davies standing out as long serving coxswains and Lewis 'Tuna' Harrison and Dr Paul Barclay

The lifeboat station at the end of the pier can be visited most of the year. It is normally manned from 10am to 4pm from Easter through to October, although it is often open at additional times. Groups wishing to visit should contact the Lifeboat Visitors Officer by emailing visitcromerlifeboats@hotmail.co.uk.

The shop at the pier lifeboat station offers a wide range of presents, including many of specific local interest. The station website at cromerrnli.org.uk has a wealth of other information about the station.
