A festival celebrating the 1960s is returning to a north Norfolk town this summer – with a line-up of live music, comedy, classic cars and scooters from the era.

The Vintage Sixties Festival 2023 is back at Cromer pier and promenade across the weekend of June 9 to 11 – with the main day of the event taking place on Saturday (June 10).  

The fun-filled swinging sixties festival will get underway on the Friday night with live music from The Jam tribute A Band Called Malice.

The sounds of the '60s will continue into Saturday, which will be headlined by The Beatles tribute The Mersey Beatles in the evening, with music on the pier and promenade throughout the day.

On Sunday, the pier theatre will host a night of comedy and entertainment from The Very Best of Tommy Cooper (Just Like That!), featuring Daniel Taylor - who starred in the West End’s Blood Brothers.

There will be a classic car display, including Morris Minors and Minis, as well as hundreds of bikes and scooters, with representatives from both the Mini and Harley-Davidson clubs.

Alongside this there will be a whole host of '60s memorabilia and vintage stalls.

Deb Lewis, who organised the event, said: “The festival last year was really good, but all a bit last minute because we didn’t know if we could go ahead after the previous years of the pandemic.

“We wanted to keep it alive because we didn’t want it to lose momentum and be forgotten.

“We’re back again this year and there’s loads of stuff going on. It will be a great feel-good day.”
