Embrace Autumn in Great Yarmouth and Norfolk

As the summer crowds fade and the leaves begin to turn, Great Yarmouth and the wider Norfolk area transform into an autumnal wonderland. The crisp air, stunning coastal walks, and a packed calendar of events make it the perfect destination for an autumn escape. Whether you're seeking spooky thrills, family fun, or a peaceful retreat, you'll find it here.

Spooktacular Halloween Adventures

October Half Term is a huge draw for families, and Great Yarmouth certainly delivers on the Halloween front. Pleasure Beach, a short 8-minute walk from the St George Hotel, often hosts special themed events with spooky rides and attractions. Check their website closer to the time for details. Many local farms and attractions, like BeWILDerwood in Hoveton (around a 30-minute drive), offer Halloween-themed trails and activities that are perfect for younger children.

For a proper scare, keep an eye out for haunted houses and ghost tours popping up around the town. Great Yarmouth has a rich history, and there are plenty of spooky tales to be told. Don't forget your costume!

Harvest Festivals and Foodie Delights

Autumn is harvest season, and Norfolk is renowned for its local produce. Many farms and villages host harvest festivals, offering a chance to sample delicious seasonal food and celebrate the bounty of the land. Look out for farmers' markets selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and homemade treats.

Several restaurants in Great Yarmouth showcase local ingredients in their autumn menus. Why not try some locally caught seafood or a hearty Norfolk stew after a blustery walk along the beach? The possibilities are endless.

Coastal Walks and Scenic Drives

The Norfolk coastline is stunning year-round, but it takes on a special beauty in autumn. Wrap up warm and enjoy a bracing walk along the beach, just a 3-minute stroll from the St George Hotel. The light is often beautiful at this time of year, making for some fantastic photo opportunities. From our front door it's only a short walk to Wellington Pier.

Alternatively, take a scenic drive through the Norfolk Broads, just a few miles inland. The Broads are a network of navigable rivers and lakes, surrounded by picturesque villages and countryside. Rent a boat and explore the waterways, or simply enjoy a walk or cycle along the towpaths.

Other Local Events

Beyond Halloween and harvest festivals, there are many other events to look out for in Great Yarmouth and Norfolk during the autumn months. Check local listings for craft fairs, art exhibitions, and live music performances.

The SEA LIFE Centre, only a 3-minute walk from the St George Hotel, is a great option for a rainy day, offering a fascinating glimpse into the underwater world. There are events throughout the year, and you can often find special autumn-themed activities.
