    Oh no Steven the Seagull is back again with all his friends! No doubt they have found some loose chips and gravy

    As an old Norfolk Boy, Hunstanton was always going to be a great spot to visit. My elderly Mum remains local, but nowadays I live in Warwickshire. However, we both go on all 5 of these webcams daily and discuss on the phone during our evening chats what we saw on our “virtual visits” whilst we were in Hunstanton that day. Looking at the familiarity of Sunny Hunny is like “going home” for me somewhat, and we both enjoy the views we have known for what is actually all of our lives – Something that brings us closer across the miles when we can’t readily get to see each other. Thank you for something that stirs the emotion in people.

    Just a wonderful place to stay/live 1st visit was early 60s thanks to a aunt who had a caravan in Heacham near the level crossing, still come here at least 6 times a year to enjoy everything, and sunny hunny always delivers for sure……

  • Marlene 3 months ago
    Watching the soap box rally on the webcam,such a shame the weather didn’t hold off a bit longer but looks like a very busy not so sunny hunny.

  • Linda 3 months ago
    wow! look at the people there

  • Wild Bill 3 months ago
    Watching him unload all those hay bales onto the Green is fascinating.. The logistics of the Soap Box Derby, it’s a big operation all right. Looking forward to watching it Sunday, hope the weather holds up, forecast has slightly changed somewhat.

    Ah what a wonderful day was had down sunny hunny today! It is lovely to see so many people enjoying the brisk sunshine and lovely to see all the motorcyclists on their machines, hopefully, the new proposed development won’t affect the use of the upper area used by motorcycles & some motor tricycles as it is lovely to see them on their machines of all shapes & sizes!

  • Adi 12 months ago
    What a brilliant day at hunny this morning,really was spectacular to see so many people having a swim,bless them! Glad the rain held off! Merry Christmas to all & a wonderful new year! Hunny is such a wonderful place to be,even in mid winter ,well worth a drive or ride ,all year round!

  • Boy dick 12 months ago
    Steve yes it would be nice to see the coloured back

  • Steve 12 months ago
    Dick I am sure you will agree this view would look so much better if those lights were still there.

  • Boy dick 1 year ago
    Steve yes I remember the coloured lights on the lamp posts

  • Steve 1 year ago
    Does anybody remember when the street lamps were concrete and from the middle up to near the top they had coloured lights. They were on for the summer and Christmas. 60s and 70s. Looked a lot more festive then.

  • Roger Farrell 1 year ago
    I see thay are planting up the bit on the green should soon look good

  • Angela 1 year ago
    Well done to the people re-vamping the little garden on the green, not the best weather to be working in.

  • Wendy 1 year ago
    I also saw that bright light on the other side of the wash and then it vanished when the camera moved and then went back to its original position. No idea what is was that was causing it.

  • Angela 1 year ago
    Steve, I saw it first thing this morning, it was quite large and very bright

  • Steve 1 year ago
    The bright light is there again tonight directly in line with the pier looking from this webcam.

  • Steve 1 year ago
    Does anybody know what the bright light was across the wash last night? I thought it might be a fishing boat but it looks like it was close to Boston.

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    Roger, The barriers will be for the big Christmas lights switch on 5pm this Sunday, outside Princess Theatre. Out of shot, to the left of picture. Think they close a couple of roads, it’s a big thing!

  • Roger 1 year ago
    Whats happin on the green with all the barriers?

  • Brian 1 year ago
    spent many weeks on Holliday hear it was one of our favourite places for the past 50 years

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    OK thanks Admin. ‘Tis a pity may try and get up there if the weather ain’t too inclement!

  • Admin 1 year ago
    Hi Wild Bill. Unfortunately we’re unable to turn The Green webcam around for the Christmas lights as this is a fixed camera. Admin

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    Does anyone know if the Town Hall are turning this cam around, if technically feasible, to see the Xmas lights switch on? 26th next Sunday. 5pm I think outside Princess theatre. (PS it was grand when they did it for bonfire night up cliff top car park)

  • Tony 1 year ago
    That little plot gets dressed with wonderful flowers and appropriate scenes throughout the year by wonderful volunteers. If you have time perhaps you could help by volunteering I’m sure they would appreciate your help.

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    That little plot next to chair / statue looks like it’s full of green weeds!? Nature abhors a vacuum! Don’t the Town Council do it up for Remembrance Sunday, with the silhouette soldiers? LEST WE FORGET

    Yes Tony, the Lady on the Green was out there the other day in a blustery wind and drizzle picking up litter. Bumped into her at 7am walking the mutt, she is a local who has volunteered – hope she finds a fiver or two amongst all the chip wrappers! Well done! The Council should give you a medal!

  • Tony 1 year ago
    Well done to the lady on the green this morning at around 7.40 who was going round with a refuse bag picking up bottles and general garbage left by a few inconsiderate visitors who through shear laziness could not keep our lovely green tidy for the rest of our visitors, shame on them.

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    Correct, Ned. I am a feather for each wind that blows… What a Tempest out there at 4pm, cor luvaduck!

  • Ned 1 year ago
    Shakespeare Bill? ;-)

  • Wild Bill 1 year ago
    Bit inclement today, wet & gusty wind, I take it the Open Air Theatre at 5pm has been moved to the Town Hall? Maximum 200 people? Roll up, folks! “We are enforced from our most quiet sphere by the rough torrent of occasion”

  • Ned 1 year ago
    We spent a very pleasant few hours here the other day listening to the brass band on the bandstand in all that beautiful sunshine. Thank you Hunston!

    I grew up knowing the history of Henry Le Strange, my Sunday school teacher was his great Grand Daughter. If anybody wants to learn about Henry they should try and get a paper back called A Fine Strong Boy by Kath Fryer. It is a good read.

  • Lynn 3 years ago
    Alan, it’s a bench sculptured as an open book and very colourfully painted – we have another on The Spinney. Quite a lot of them around west Norfolk. Google “book bench sculptures” to see more about them.

    As they are always full I assume the car parking at the top of the Green, under the camera, is free all day?

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Does anybody know what the Beachcomber bar is now. It used to be down an alley between the town hall and Golden Lion.

  • Jane 3 years ago
    Not a soul in sight. Hunny looks lonely without the summer visitors.

  • Sarah 3 years ago
    Where abouts in the town do they have the tree?

  • Fred 3 years ago
    Yes there is a tree and lights up

  • Judy 3 years ago

    Thanks Nigel, I was always pleased to ‘tune’ in in time for a wave, always made my day. I will miss seeing you, I’m sure it was you I saw the other day with the seagulls flapping around you. I love watching these webcams, please keep posting, always nice to read what other people think.

  • WW 3 years ago
    Nigel-Thank you for all the hard work you have done. Good luck in your next challenge.

  • Nigel 3 years ago
    Sadly as from yesterday , no more waving for camera, my seasonal work has ended for council, as litter picker, what i would like to say, is i’v had a amazing time, with tourists with local people, now to my next challenge, i will miss you all

  • Jane 3 years ago
    Susan, I said it looks like Hunny misses the tourists. I’ve no doubt some locals are happy to see the tourists gone.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    When I lived in Old and New Hunstanton the summers were good ,but the winters were special.

  • Susan 3 years ago
    Actually Jane, for many permanent residents of Hunstanton the few winter months are our bit of ‘me’ time and we enjoy the peace and quiet.

  • Jane 3 years ago
    Hunny always looks as though it’s lonely once the season ends. It’s as though it misses all of the happy holiday makers.

  • Richard 3 years ago
    You know what i love this place and always will

  • Lewis 3 years ago
    Just 4 more days and I will be back in Hunnystanton as I call it! Looks like a bit of autumn sunshine is also coming back.

  • Ros 3 years ago

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Thankyou. What a service. When I lived there you had to work it out yourself.

  • Admin 3 years ago
    Hi Steve, the flashing red light you can see is the electronic display board that shows the next high and low tide times.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    To the right of the bandstand you can see a flag, does anybody know what it is that is flashing next to the flag?

  • Lewis 3 years ago
    @Niloc – the sign on the green is a notice about the history of Hunstanton which of course mentions the Le Strange family.

    Hello australia i did my wave going home tommorow.

  • Ade 3 years ago
    Just look at the weather now and the beautiful sun set….. what a pity today was such a wash out for you all…. never mind make sure you make up for it when the next heatwave arrives in the next few days

  • Brian 3 years ago
    Open air theatre was where the sailing club is now, yes did watch a show or two.

  • Wendy 3 years ago
    What a shame it’s such a horrible day for the music festival.

  • Jess Barnes 3 years ago
    Wednesday morning. The bins looked really full in passing.. Overflowing and the Gulls were attacking them. Was quite a lot of litter around bins. By the time i returned 30 minutes later the place was spotless the council had obviously done their daily rounds. Only shame about Hunstanton is a lack of a early opening cafe.

  • Helen 3 years ago
    ive been told there will be live music on the green on sunday lets hope for a nice day.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I do not remember the open air theatre but I won a baby contest there in 1958. It`s been down hill ever since.

  • Ros 3 years ago
    Seen people throw their rubbish down in front of bins , so perhaps both people and gulls, the gulls don’t know any better.

  • The boy dick 3 years ago
    Can anyone remember the open air theatre which was somewhere where the sailing club is now

  • Rosie 3 years ago
    4.51 this morning l watched the seagulls getting food from the bin, there were quite a few of pulling food out from the bin and the others were flying in to steal it

  • Helen 3 years ago
    ive seen seagulls dive into bins and bring a box of un eaten chips out so i would say the gulls.

  • Jeannie 3 years ago
    Is it people or gulls that cause the mess around the litter bin?

  • Ros 3 years ago
    Pity folks can’t put their rubbish in the bin rather than in front on the ground . Spoiling a lovely view across bay. I expect the wonderful bin men will put it to rights . Thanks for all the cameras .

  • Rosie 3 years ago
    Yes it is, enjoy

  • Audrey 3 years ago
    Is the Joke shop still there?

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Back in the 60´s I can recall some really good brass bands playing on the green March Railway and Littleport come to mind. Littleport had a leader who was like a red coat and entertained everybody and at night he would go into the bingo social club and play his trumpet with Richard Mann on the organ. He would play swing type Jazz.

  • Rosie 3 years ago

  • Helen 3 years ago
    EVERY DAY AND NIGHT I FEEL CLOSER TO MY MUM AND DAD WISH I WAS WITH YOU X hUNSTANTON THE BEST PLACE TO BE

  • Steve 3 years ago
    yes I remember those boats and as a child went on them many times. Also I can remember a small zoo underneath the arcade. It was only there for 2/3 years.

  • Rosie 3 years ago
    Wouldn’t it be great to get a pier back again. It can be done, and lm sure it would very well used, there was a small roundabout with sailing boats and they were in water, l thought it was magical

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I worked on the pier during the summer 1972. Mr Harris was my boss . His son Norman who looked like he was in his 50’s really ran everything. I was on the toll and every morning I would walk along the pier to make sure there was no litter and I would always take a moment at the end of the pier and take in the vista. On a sunny day when the sea was calm it felt very special standing there by myself. If only it was possible now. Should they rebuild it, Yes, but the council should take a look a Southwolds and take in any mistakes they made.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Sorry I did not make myself clear, by 1972 she no longer had her stall. She most likely retired.

  • Marie 3 years ago
    Thank you for the update, Steve. I didn’t know that she passed away such a long time ago.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Yes Marie she is long gone. She was older than my Mother and she would be 102 years old. I worked on the toll on the pier in 1972 and I know she had already gone by then.

  • Adie 3 years ago
    Glad to see another web cam in Sunny Hunny is online, love watching the web cams from Mansfield..... it's like you can be there when you can't be there if that makes sense lol

  • Adie 3 years ago
    There goes the Wash Monster on the 30 mins cliff tour……can almost hear it’s engine and it’s horn blowing

  • Marie 3 years ago
    Steve – I expect that lady is long gone. She always seemed to be there and was always cheerful. Rick – I watched that when it was first uploaded to YouTube. It is one of the best videos I have ever seen on YT.

  • Jaybee 3 years ago
    John – just watched the short film. Great. Thanks for the information.

  • Rosie 3 years ago
    Its a good little film john ,it rings those memories flooding back .it is good that hunstanto hasn’t been spoilt like many other seaside towns, but it would be lovely to gave a pier again,

  • Rick 3 years ago
    I would recommend watching ‘Ghost Train, Kings Lynn to Hunstanton’ on youtube for anyone interested. It was only added a few months back but absolutely worth a watch.

  • The boy dick 3 years ago
    I think hunstanton needs more indoor attractions for families on holiday when the weather is cold and wet anybody agree

  • Steve 3 years ago
    The lady who took the weight, height and vitality came from Lincolnshire for the summer season. My mother would have a long chat with her every year as I nagged her for a go for 6d.

  • John 3 years ago
    For those that don’t know, the little film “John Betjeman goes by train: Kings Lynn to Hunstanton” is an interesting watch. Filmed in 1962, it ends with views of the old station.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I can just remember steam trains coming into Hunstanton. Followed by class 31´s and 37´s. But more so I remember the DMU´s as My mother often took me on the train to Lynn and I would try and sit behind the driver. I can still at 63 years old see in my head all the controls and every bend and stations on that line to Lynn.

  • Marie 3 years ago
    Rick – we should start a campaign to reinstate the pier! Boy dick – yes Cambridge to Hunstanton straight through. Rosie – the compartments were amazing. What a shame there is nothing like it now. Does anyone recall before the new breakers were put on the beach? The beach was much lower and ladders were there to be able to get down onto the sand. At Heacham the beach was 6ft or more lower than it is now. What about the lady on the seafront near to where the KitKat used to be. She had a wooden turquoise kiosk and would check your height, weight and vitality for 6d. Gosh I am old! LOL

  • Rosie 3 years ago
    Yes i do, the train had a corridor and compartments to sit in. The excitement when we pulled into hunstanton was huge and it was just a short walk across to the beach for a day filled with sea , sand sunshine and warm sandwiches, finished with an ice cream, bliss

  • Boy dick 3 years ago
    I remember the railway station it was quite a big station and very busy you could catch a train in Cambridge to hunstanton with out changing trains. Also can anyone remember South lynn railway station in King’s Lynn you could get a train to all most any where in Norfolk from there

  • Rick 3 years ago
    Alas I am too young to remember either Marie but I have always felt thats the one thing missing from Hunstanton, a pier. I am in the area every few weeks (not today for obvious reasons haha) and I think a pier would be the icing on the cake. Have a great day everyone

  • Marie 3 years ago
    Does anyone remember the railway station where Azams is now? What a shame that the pier was never rebuilt. Cherished memories . . .

  • Ros 3 years ago
    Sorry people , lts just what l was told about the hotel. Sometimes people don’t get there facts straight. Good day to you all.

    Rosie the statue is Henry Styleman Le Strange, investor and primary creator of Hunstanton as a seaside resort. He invested heavily in the area in the mid 1800’s, including the railway line but unfortunately passed away aged 47 before he got to see the thriving success Hunstanton would become.

Hunstanton Bandstand on The Green
Hunstanton Soapbox Derby on The Green
Sunset Over The Green in Hunstanton

Soapbox Derby image supplied by Ian Burt

The Green, Hunstanton

Overlooking the sea, The Green in Hunstanton faces west making it a popular spot with visitors to enjoy fish and chips while watching one of Hunstanton’s famous sunsets.

Its natural theatre auditorium effect means The Green hosts many events throughout the year, including in the past the BBC Radio 1 Roadshows during the 1980s and 1990s.

The lower green is the site of the former pier which was destroyed in 1978 during heavy storms, while the bandstand next door is the stage for many performances by musicians and other key events.

Standing proud on the upper green is the statue of Henry le Strange who is credited to building Hunstanton into the Victorian seaside resort it is today. His original carrstone buildings are still in use including the grade II listed Golden Lion Hotel, built in 1846.


Hunstanton Town Hall

The Town Hall is a magnificent grade II listed building, built by George Skipper in 1896, that sits at the very top of The Green.

Home to Hunstanton Town Council, the Town Hall is available to hire for events such as exhibitions and fairs, meetings, seminars, birthday parties, christenings and funeral wakes. The chamber is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies and the main hall can accommodate up to 200 guests (standing). Facilities include a professional grade kitchen, bar and stage.

Hunstanton’s Town Council consists of 17 elected councillors that are responsible for a number of local issues such as allotments, bus shelters, community centres, help for local organisations as well as consultation on neighbourhood planning.
