Over the last couple of years the festival has expanded to take in many venues in Cromer itself for both organised and impromptu fringe events. This year will see a further expansion with second fully seated concert style venue and a dance-house.

The fringe

The event also has quite an active fringe programme in local venues.The Fringe offers a mix of styles from traditional folk to the pure experimental. As with any folk festival fringe, open mic and sessions form the backbone of the programming but set performances include Cajun Rock to Mediaeval based comedy and music.
