Join us for a fun, free event to shape the future of our coastal town. Change is on the horizon—what matters most?

For adults (18+) of all ages. If you are a resident, worker, regular visitor, or if you just love Lowestoft, this is for you!

A fun morning time-travelling to reimagine the future of this coastal town.

What will happen?
⏰We start by adding events of historic or personal significance to a timeline of Lowestoft since 1875.
🙋‍♂️You choose your time-travelling characters. Will you start as a young person, or an elder? What does your character care about?
✨Then we will travel all the way to 2075, 50 years into the future!

Venue: The Battery, 119-125 London Road North, Lowestoft, NR32 1LZ

FREE snacks and refreshments will be provided!

This event is part of a research project on the effect of immersive experiences. A researcher will be there to observe the event. Although the researcher will not be observing individuals, there is an opportunity on the day for you to decide if you wish to be part of the research or not. If you would like to know more about the research project before the event, please email Professor Ann Light at the University of Sussex (ann.light@sussex.ac.uk) and she will send you an information sheet.

Reimagine This Coastal Town
This event has been created by Ruth Catlow and Ann Light, and is the first in the Reimagine This Coastal Town series led by Furtherfield.
This project is being created in partnership with The University of Sussex, with support from Arts Council England and the Suffolk Cultural Fund.
