subject: A Celebration of Festivals and Carnivals [print this page] If you are looking to visit Norfolk, why not time your visit to coincide with one of the many fascinating festivals taking place in the area.
They celebrate many of the fine foods that can be found along the north Norfolk coast or inland and also include colourful parades and activities.
With a great choice of North Norfolk Hotels to choose to stay in, there should be no difficulty finding a room to coincide with one of the events.
Some festivals run throughout the week and into the weekend so if you are planning a weekend break Norfolk, you'll still be able to catch up with the fun and the razzamatazz of a carnival, parade, fete, gala or festival.
One of the best festivals can be found in Holt; a charming, Georgian market town located just three miles from the coast. This festival runs for one week in the summer.
And with some of the best Norfolk luxury hotels in and around Holt to stay in, you will find the festival central to the town, offering a broad mixture of arts events for everyone, with appearances by street artists, entertainers and a range of concerts to suit all tastes.
In the North Norfolk town of Cromer, the annual carnival is legendary. Every year in August thousands of people travel to the resort to experience this event, which climaxes with a grand parade through the town. The highlight has to be the Red Arrows with their breathtaking displays over Cromer pier.
Meanwhile, the Cromer and Sheringham Crab and Lobster Festival is held over a weekend in May with art, dancing, music, film, comedy and children's events. The Festival ends with an exciting World Pier Crabbing Championship on Cromer Pier.
The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival takes place at Holkham Hall in September. With cookery demonstrations, tastings and goods for sale, plus the chance to get some advice from North Norfolk chefs, this festival is one for those who adore good food and drink and want to savour more. With plenty of good hotels in North Norfolk you will be well placed for a stay to join in the fund of festival and carnival fever style.
