A family-run bar which has helped bring live rock ’n’ roll back to a seaside village is set to celebrate its first anniversary this month.

Harley’s Bar, at Seabreeze Caravan Park on Newport Road in Hemsby, will mark one year since opening with an Elvis anniversary show on Saturday, March 14.

Tribute performer Jake Rivers will take to the stage from 8.30pm as part of the celebrations, which are open to holidaymakers and local residents.

The venue, which had stood disused for several years, has been transformed into a busy community hub, with regular live music, cash bingo and live sport on big screens.

The bar is dog-friendly and welcomes visitors from across Hemsby’s holiday parks as well as people living in the village.

Since opening last year, Harley’s has hosted a string of rock ’n’ roll nights and staged its own Harley Fest event in August.

In its first few months the team also launched a fundraiser for a Heart2Heart defibrillator and bleed kit, raising enough money within weeks to get the lifesaving equipment installed and operational outside the bar.
