Cromer is a small seaside town in the Poppyland region of North Norfolk perched on a cliff top. It is frequently one of the sunniest places in Britain!
Famous exports include turkeys, asparagus, saffron & samphire. A quarter of the UK’s wheat & barley and a third of the UK’s potatoes are from Norfolk!
Cromer Carnival is all about fun, fancy dress and amazing floats. Highlights include the grand parade, a party tent and a torchlit parade!
Cromer is known for its pier and blue flag beaches. The end of pier show is the only full-season end-of-pier show remaining in the world!

I’ve been tasked with being Cromer Subcamp Media & Communications Team Leader – I think that’s because I talk lots to anyone and everyone!
I’m a Norjam Newbie, although I’ve been vicariously through my kids who have attended as Guides or Scouts.
I am Beavers Scout Lead Volunteer at the 43rd Saxlingham Nethergate Scout & Guide Group; I’ve been involved with the Cubs too.
My must-pack item for camping is a pack of glow sticks to mark my guy ropes (I have been known to trip!)
As camp food goes it has to be a bacon bap with HP sauce, and if there’s a cheesy slice to add, even better!
I’m really looking forward to getting to know my fellow Cromer sub-camp members and getting stuck into everything Norjam.
