Back in it's heyday the autumn months was the busiest time of the year for the old Beach Village.
With the arrival of the Scots fisher girls and fishing fleets, the Grit's population doubled for the Herring fishing season.

Join us and guest speaker Dean Parkin as we explore 'Autumn on the Grit', which shares stories, photos, archive audio and film about Lowestoft's long-lost fishing village in its busy autumn months.
As well as a tribute to Jack Rose; Mr Lowestoft, who co-wrote the book 'The Grit' alongside Dean Parkin.

Plus a rare opportunity to put your questions to Dean Parkin in an exclusive Q&A segment.

At the Movie Makers Theatre, Sparrows Nest Gardens, Lowestoft.
Wednesday 18th November, 2.00pm-3.30pm.

Sharing is Caring at Christmas ! .... so share this news with huge amounts of Festive Cheer ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ„

In only 54 days until Santa Dash is Back and this year with extra Christmassy feels as we add extra stalls , music , entertainment and ................ Santas Grotto !!
A great opportunity for the little ones to say 'Hi to the Big Guy' before the other big event which is 73 Days away !

So if you are not one of the fit , festive and slightly barmy folk who will be signing up to run circa 4 k dressed as Santa , an Elf or a Reindeer there will still be excellent reasons to take the family to Denes Oval for a Festive Day out.

We are still looking for some more great stall holders for the event and if you have a Fantastic Festive Product we are interested to hear from
๐ŸŽ„Chestnut Roasters
๐ŸŽ„Festive Wreath Makers
๐ŸŽ„Festive Foods and Treats
๐ŸŽถAny Carol Singing groups out there ??
๐ŸŽ„Festive Fitness Stalls

If interested in trading email [email protected] for details and keep an eye on our Sports: Lowestoft Town Council page for details on how to sign up to run !

Tour dates released soon...... Luca and the Scores ! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽถ

During August the project team worked alongside some fantastic young local talent as part of the When Lowestoft Rocked Exhibition.

The exhibition invites residents young and old to uncover, record and share the towns musical stories from the 1960s to the early 2000s.

In this case the youngsters were not uncovering but discovering their own talents !

In four sessions over four weeks , they wrote the music and lyrics for an original song , recorded the instrumental's and vocals complete with a promotional video and album art ( Pictured above ) .... Phew !!!!

No mean feat and those involved should be rightly proud of their hard work !

The track premiered on August 20th Sunrise Film Festival - Lowestoft but if you missed it there click on the link below to have a little listen.
https://youtu.be/CgQMoXERhQo

The track will also feature in the exhibition when the Town Hall opens in the spring alongside the towns association with giants of the industry like The Rolling Stones The Kinks and The Darkness

"It was the first time that the future was shaped by young people"

The project team enjoyed a fantastic afternoon yesterday at The Seagull Theatre where as part of a series of engagement activities we screened the documentary film My Generation.

The almost packed auditorium had a real buzz and there was much laughter and even some singing along as the assembled audience were transported back to the 60s.

It was a great opportunity for us not only to have a enjoyable afternoon but to have the chance to speak with so many local residents about the Town Hall regeneration and the planned When Lowestoft Rocked exhibition.

Given the quote that started this post it was also great to talk about two recent activities where local young people became involved in the project to produce material for the exhibition and for a more permanent installation. Watch this space for updates on the amazing work those young people have been doing !

Thank you to everyone who attended and especially those who went the xtra mile and dressed up !
