Celebration of its past and investment in its future is putting the great back into Great Yarmouth, as Angi Kennedy discovers.

Looking forward

Great Yarmouth is buzzing. And it's not just that summer buzz which always transforms the seaside town with its mantle of bright lights and seafront attractions. Major investment in the town over the past few years means that there is a sense of promise about Yarmouth that bodes well for its future.

Rich heritage

The sea shaped this town, physically and economically. Discover more at the atmospheric and award-winning Time and Tide Museum, plus The Elizabethan House, The Nelson and The Tolhouse museums.

Beside the seaside

The thousands spent on bringing Yarmouth seafront into the 21st century have not been wasted, with the new-look promenade bringing the resort bang up to date. Yet it remains a traditional family resort with golden sandy beaches; the fun of the fair at Joyland and the Pleasure Beach; Wellington and Britannia Piers, and attractions as diverse as Merrivale Model Village and Pirates Cove adventure golf.
