Every May, this festival of fun, food, art and history comes to the Norfolk towns of Cromer and Sheringham. It’s an exciting weekend of cookery competitions, food tasting, live music and, above all, crabs and lobsters. You could even win a giant painted crab or lobster!

 

 You will be able to eat crabs and lobsters from any of the restaurants nearby and have the chance to learn how to cook them yourself. The festival has a large cookery theatre where you can watch chefs prepare and cook delicious seafood. In addition, for those who prefer to find their own crabs, there is the crabbing competition. The team which gets the most crabs wins!

 

The festival is not just about seafood. It also celebrates the history of fishing and the environment. Local fishermen, whose families have fished the Norfolk coast for generations, come to the festival every year to share the art of fishing with tourists. Finally, many scientists also come to the festival. They give details about how we can take better care of the local environment so that everyone can enjoy it for years to come. Organised by local volunteers, the Crab and Lobster Festival is a fun celebration of the sea that raises money for charity and attracts thousands of tourists to the beautiful Norfolk coast.
