About

The Potty Festival was started by the Lobster Potties Morris dancers in 1993,as a way of saying thank you to the sides that had invited the Potties to visit them for a weekend of dance. Gradually over the years the Festival has grown and grown with more sides coming along each year, including several European groups, so much so that we now also have to close and use more roads to fit everyone in. With the help of the traders and townspeople the festival now draws a large crowd of visitors and holiday makers into Sheringham each July. Its popularity with the dancers and visitors keeps them coming back, some booking their holidays to coincide with the festival each year.
