Events in Lowestoft From 13th April – 19th April 2026

Home · Events in Lowestoft This Week

This week’s events in Lowestoft highlight long-standing community traditions and new local initiatives. Workshops on sewing techniques are held at The Battery, a former shipbuilding site now used for cultural gatherings. These sessions take place in rooms with original timber detailing, preserving the building’s heritage while supporting craft education.

Evenings feature live music at The Mayfly, where jazz sets alternate with comedy nights drawing performers from across Suffolk and Norfolk. A screening of a classic film is scheduled at The Seagull Theatre, part of a programme focused on accessible storytelling rather than commercial appeal.

Family sessions are hosted in shared spaces near the riverfront footpath network including Angels Way, which links residential areas to civic zones. Events take place across several locations: an old pub transformed into a multi-use performance space on A1044 road; a repurposed civic building used for adult workshops.

The events programme runs alongside public transport links including Oulton Broad South railway station and pedestrian access via footpaths like Angels Way. Noisy roundabout conditions remain notable near key junctions such as the A47 Tesco interchange. Attendees should consider traffic patterns when planning journeys.

Check listings below for exact times and venue details across this coastal stretch of Suffolk between 12th and 19th April, 2026.
