Art Trail Auction
30 Aug, 2026
The last Sunday in August, on the pier forecourt! Your chance to be the proud owner of a decorated surfboard, small or large. It's a two-part auction, 1230pm noon and 2.30pm, with the Blakeney Old Wild Rovers singing between.
At 10am it's the World Pier Crabbing Championship - sign in from 9.30am. Plenty of fun for all!
World Pier Crabbing Championships
30 Aug, 2026 ~ 10:00-12:00
This international event (that means people from Sheringham and further afield take part) is held on Cromer Pier. Register from 9.30am, crabbing 10am to 12 noon. Come and try your luck - the crabs are all returned to the sea, waiting for the next year!
