GREAT YARMOUTH SCOOTER WEEKENDER 2026 SCHEDULE
THIS PAGE IS NOW BEING UPDATED FOR 2026... COME BACK SOON.
About Great Yarmouth Scooter Weekender
After 3 successful years at Eastern Beach Holiday Park in Caister, we relocated to Great Yarmouth Seafront in 2024.
Our main venue for the 3rd year running is The Nelson Hotel, just opposite the Sealife centre, with 3 function rooms and a large bar area.
NOTE: This is currently a small, friendly end-of-season event with great potential and grows a bit each year. We hope that with your continued support, we can grow it to take over more seafront venues.
