A Cromer Christmas Show favourite will be performing at the end-of the-pier variety spectacular this summer.
Singer Jane Watkins will be one of the acts in the Seaside Special which runs from June 21-September 20 at the Pavilion Theatre.
Shows will be held at 7.30pm between Tuesdays and Saturdays and matinée performances of the Show Two, featuring the main Seaside Special performers, will be held at 2.30pm on some of the days.

Jane began her career in theatre at the age of 16 and made her début performance playing the part of Mary Warren in the Tony award-winning play The Crucible at the Hull Truck Theatre.
