From grand parades along the quayside to live music echoing through the streets, Carnival week pulses with energy and tradition. Watch as elaborately decorated floats wind through town, join spontaneous street performances, and experience Wells at its most spirited. This is summer on the Norfolk coast, celebrated as it should be.
Carnival belongs to everyone. Children can delight in funfair rides and face painting, whilst families can gather for community picnics and harbour races. Evening entertainment draws crowds to the quayside, where local talent and visiting performers create an atmosphere of pure seaside joy.
Rooted in decades of community spirit, Wells Carnival unites past and present to honour the town’s rich maritime heritage. From traditional Morris dancers to modern music acts, vintage car displays to contemporary art exhibitions, every event reflects the town's unique character. Experience Wells at its most welcoming.
“Beautiful, modern with a lovely view and the bed was so comfy and the view so lovely. We really enjoyed just sitting by the window and watching the water and people.”
