The world-famous Cromer Pier Show is set to return for the 2026 season with a brand-new production, as it proudly celebrates a landmark 125th anniversary of the pier and its enduring legacy of British seaside entertainment.
Running from 27 June to 19 September 2026 at the Pavilion Theatre, this year’s show promises a rip-roaring celebration of variety, packed with comedy, music, dance and spectacle, continuing a tradition that has delighted generations.
Produced by Openwide Coastal, the Cromer Pier Show remains the only full-season end-of-the-pier show in the world, blending nostalgic charm with world-class production values.
Audiences can expect dazzling choreography, powerhouse vocals, traditional seaside humour, and cutting-edge visuals including the show-stopping 8-metre video wall, alongside bespoke costumes and spectacular lighting.
Leading the 2026 cast is award-winning comedian Jack Gleadow as host, bringing his infectious energy and quick-fire wit to the stage. He is joined by exceptional vocalists Fern Duffy and James Hammond, whose performances promise to deliver both emotional depth and show-stopping moments.
Adding even more spectacle to the line-up are aerialist Charlee Oakton, whose breathtaking routines promise moments of real beauty and drama, and acrobatic juggler Jaime Double, bringing high-energy skill, precision and a touch of danger to the stage.
A stellar line-up of guest acts will bring even more variety and star power across the season, including the brilliantly bold Myra DuBois, comedy favourite Phil Lowen, Comedy magician Martin Daniels, and rising star Brandon Barratt.
With a runtime of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an interval, the Cromer Pier Show 2026 offers a full evening of feel-good entertainment, set against the stunning backdrop of the North Norfolk coastline.
As Cromer Pier marks 125 years, the show stands as a living piece of British heritage, continuing to evolve while staying true to its roots. In an ever-changing entertainment landscape, it remains a shining example of tradition, resilience, and the timeless appeal of live variety.
Sean Garrett, General Manager, Cromer Pier, said: “We are incredibly proud to be flying the flag for British variety, especially in such a special anniversary year. Reaching 125 years of Cromer Pier is a huge milestone, and the Cromer Pier Show remains at the heart of that story, bringing people together through laughter, music and unforgettable live performance. This year’s show is a true celebration of everything that makes British seaside entertainment so unique.”
