Morecambe & Wise, Wellington Pier, Great Yarmouth 1964. The comedy duo headline the summer season, their faces filling the seafront marquee and posters advertising two shows a day at 6.45 and 8.30pm. Support acts include Bert Weedon, Barbara Law, Daniel Remy, and Paul & Peta Page, with Hughie Green appearing on Sundays in July. The scene captures the height of the seaside variety era, when pier theatres competed to host the biggest names and packed holiday audiences queued for nightly entertainment.
In Great Yarmouth, this thriving entertainment scene centered around several key venues: the 1,200-seat Britannia Pier Theatre, the similarly sized Wellington Pier Theatre, the larger 1,600-seat Regal Theatre, and the more intimate 700-seat Windmill Theatre. Each of these theatres played a vital role in hosting star-studded line-ups and contributing to the town’s reputation as a premier destination for summer entertainment.
