From running exhibitions to foot races with trays full of drinks, all the traditional highlights of Cromer Carnival are back after a three-year absence.

Thousands of people have flocked to the city for Carnival Week, which has not continued since 2019 due to the pandemic.

People lined the ramp in front of Cromer Pier on Sunday for the coronation of Miss Cromer – Amy Gibson – and her ‘royal family’.
