Another year of success!

The only 'End of the Pier' Show in the world continues to grow…

It was curtain down for the famous summer variety show, at the Pavilion Theatre in Cromer on Saturday night. The cast have shared laughter, tears, and an amazing sense of camaraderie throughout the run of this 3 month long traditional variety show. Now it has come to an end, The Cromer Pier team have a chance to reflect on what has been another bumper summer:

• 2% increase on tickets sold compared to 2015
• 2% increase in Souvenir Programmes sold compared to 2015
• 7,200 Ice Cream Tubs sold to audiences who attended the summer show

The famous Cromer Pier Show is now the only one of its kind, so it has a rich tradition to uphold. And now it's 39th year has been and gone in a flash, the team are already looking ahead to next year.

“Next year's show went on sale the day after closing night and we are delighted to announce that after winning audiences over this year, with his second to none juggling skills, James Bustar, Australia's favourite comedy juggler, will be returning next year for the show's 40th Anniversary. It is going to be a big year next year and we wanted James to be part of that” says Jo Artherton, General Manager. She continues “We are really looking forward to celebrating the show's landmark anniversary next year, something the whole team is proud of. It's testament that there is still a demand for traditional live variety, where it's popularity is helped along by shows such as Britain's Got Talent and Sunday Night at the Palladium.”

The Cromer Pier Show will return for its Christmas run, starting on November 26th running through until 30th December. The Christmas Show  is fast becoming one of the top 'must see' family Christmas shows in Norfolk, rivalling other Norfolk Christmas productions, not only in production values, laugh-out-loud comedy and amazing dance routines but also as a good value for money experience. Tickets start from just £10.
