Cromer Carnival fun for youngsters will be kicking off next week for the popular children's weeks activities.

The events will be held on the pier forecourt, East Beach and West Beach.

They will start on Monday August 5 and the first week will include sandcastle building; beach sports; a scavanger hunt; and a family fun day.

The second week, from Monday August 12 to Friday August 16, will feature paper boat and plane racing; sand sculpture; a dummy and deckchair competition; and puppets on the prom.

The fortnight of fun will finish with the first ever duck race off the pier on Friday August 16 at 1pm and a disco at 3pm.
