Festival & Major Events

The seaside town of Great Yarmouth is alive with a vibrant calendar of festivals and major events throughout the year. Highlights include the lively Wheels Festival on the seafront, where classic and quirky vehicles draw tens of thousands of visitors. The dynamic Out There Festival brings international street-arts and circus performances blending local heritage with high-energy outdoor spectacle. And then there’s the elegant three-day Eastern Festival of horse-racing at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, combining sport, fashion and socialising. These are just some of the events to look forward to in 2026 which not only add energy and excitement for visitors but also support the local economy, culture and community.
