Welcome to the Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival
The 2010 Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival takes place on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 September 2010 on South Quay, when traditional tall ships, expedition vessels, steam drifters and lifeboats will be moored on South Quay for visitors to admire and go aboard.
Land-lubbers who prefer to keep their feet firmly on terra-firma will have plenty to keep them entertained. Shanty and maritime music will be performed throughout the festival at three different venues, all with bars, up and down South Quay, with a packed programme of artistes, including the Newfoundland dogs and their amazing water rescue displays. Don't miss the BBC Bang goes the Theory performances on Stonecutter's Quay! Other exhibitors include boat builders, the RSPB and Natural England.
Painting, ceramics, knot tying, net mending and lace making will all be on display in the popular demonstrator's marquees. The Feast of Fish marquee will whip up some delicious fish dishes. Walk about entertainment includes The Giant Seagulls, Horatio Herring and Mrs H too!
Entrance is FREE: £1 donation per person is much appreciated!
