Sparkle Over The Sea
EDP Norfolk|January 2018

It has quickly become a Norfolk New Year institution – what better way to embrace 2018 than lining the sand to watch Cromer’s spectacular seaside firework display

Sparkle Over The Sea
SHOWERS of iridescent light fall like waterfalls from the pier; crackling fountains of fire burst from the waves and the sky above the shoreline is alive with a mesmerising show of colour and noise, reflecting magically in the water below.

There can be few better ways to wave goodbye to one year and welcome in another than huddling side by side on the beach with a hot chocolate or mulled wine in hand to watch Cromer’s annual New Year’s Day firework display over the sea.

Since it began 19 years ago, the event has become a Norfolk must do. More than 10,000 people headed for the town last year, braving the wintry conditions to soak up the atmosphere and watch the spectacular display on the pier.

Jim Bond, chairman of the firework committee, says the event has grown beyond all expectations.

“It was set up as a one off to celebrate the Millennium and it wasn’t on the pier, it was on the meadow. Initially it was a local firework event for the town, but it just became bigger and bigger.
