About

The Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre is best known as the venue to the ONLY ‘End of the Pier’ show of its kind in the World!, where audiences can be entertained by a line up of traditional variety acts for three months throughout the summer. 

The Cromer Pier Show, also known as Seaside Special, is one of the few true live variety shows in Britain and it showcases live variety acts at their best. No other pier in the world can boast the same credentials which makes The Cromer Pier Show a ‘must-see’ experience and, as Bradley Walsh recently said: “it should be on everyone’s to-do list”.

Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre has approx. 450 seats making for an intimate experience but drawing quality acts who always enjoy returning to the stage here. In the past we’ve had many now familiar names developing their careers here, including Bradley Walsh who is a staunch supporter of the show, Steve Hewlett, the hilarious ventriloquist, who made it to the finals in 2013’s Britain’s Got Talent, Danny Posthill who also made it as a finalist in  Britain’s Got Talent 2015, crazy pair, comedian Phil Butler and comedy juggler James Bustar and with the voice of an angel, singing sensation Emily Yarrow. 

The Cromer Pier Show is nationally famous as an “incubator” for true, quality talent for dancers, singers, actors, magicians, comedians and other variety acts so, by coming to see the Summer Show, you could be seeing the stars of the future.
