Produced in partnership by Eastern Ear and originalprojects; YARMONICS is a festival of sound and new music that celebrates the sounds, people and places of Great Yarmouth.

The festival is led by Oliver Payne and Kaavous Clayton.

It features installations, performances, workshops with local groups, and talks. The festival is always free to attend.

In 2024 YARMONICS launched artist’s residencies where artists and collectives were invited to stay in Great Yarmouth to work with local artists and communities to produce new work. This model will continue to form part of our year round programme of activity.

YARMONICS has invited dozens of artists, musicians, academics and writers to create work that responds to specific spaces and places in Great Yarmouth, including:
