“Bringing together dynamic and dramatic outdoor dance and acrobatic performances, hypnotic water projections, light installations and a night-time fire show, this will make unforgettable entertainment, all taking place during October half term.
"This boost of increased visitor footfall during October and November will support local business, improving our town’s economic resilience.
“Building on Out There Art’s reputation for producing artistically diverse, high quality, accessible events, plus the enormous popularity of Out There Festival, it is envisaged Fire on the Water will be able to draw in a large volume and broad spectrum of new and existing audiences and visitors from local, regional and national locations.”
Darren Henley, chief executive of Arts Council England said he had enjoyed the Fire on the Water experience.
He said: “We had a fantastic time. It’s clear that Great Yarmouth’s cultural scene is on fire.
"It’s a brilliant event full of incredible ambition and craftsmanship and everyone should go.”
