I came across this on a brief visit to Lowestoft. My regret is that I did not have more time as it is a really interesting museum. It is quite an eye opener to see and appreciate the living conditions on board a traditional trawler. The volunteers are ethusiastic and informative and though it is free a donation is welcomed to maintain this fascinating attraction.

Covid-19 Update: To protect our community and volunteers during the current pandemic, we will be remaining closed for the time being. We'll be reviewing this over the year, and in line with government advice. We have big plans for 2021, and look forward to sharing them with you when we can. Please check here, our facebook page, or our website for updates. We will reassess this later in the year and hope to reopen as soon as we can. The Museum is housed inside Broad House, a grade 2 listed building dating from 1685, in the grounds of Nicholas Everitt Park. Lowestoft Museum collects, preserves and displays objects relating to the history of the area and its people, and promotes awareness and interest in our rich heritage.
Located in the lovely Nicolas Everett park we stumbled across this little gem of a museum. It contains roman and medieval artefacts found in the area including fossils, roman coins, pots etc. Everything is displayed beautifully and very clearly labelled. There is also a large collection of Lowestoft Pottery items as well as many other items of local interest. A great little museum and right next door to a kids play area and small boating lake and tea rooms.

Prestige Escape Rooms are an exciting interactive escape room experience that you'll never forget! You've got 60 minutes on the clock. You are trapped in a room and the only way to escape is to find the clues and solves the puzzles within the time limit! You and your teammates will need to be able to think intuitively and have good communication and problem-solving skills.
Completed the Enigma room - a good mix of puzzles, appropriate difficulty, thoroughly enjoyed it. The host was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. An all round fun experience - we will definitely return for the other room.

We came here with my 4 year old and 4 month old and our dog :) this is such a lovely place and you really get a sense that the workers here love what they do. Upon entry the greeting we received was lovely and welcoming. I asked if we could bring our dog in and were informed that the location was very dog friendly with lots of fresh water dotted around. The teams and displays are so well looked after and you really get a sense of the history of the vehicles. My son went on the little train and the driver made his day by allowing him to sit in the drivers seat. The place is run by volunteers and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The gentleman who served is in the little cafe was jolly and very friendly. I fully urge people to visit and keep this location going, it’s a tiny piece of history that is kept alive by amazing people.

As a Christmas holiday treat I took my family and teens to watch the production of Alice, it was magical! The entrance was decorated to suit the Alice show, the snacks were too and the programme was very reasonable and interesting. The costumes and props were awesome and a great effort was made by all actors, some of whom were quite young! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cute little theatre!!

A well presented public house specializing in real ale with up to 12 available.Six real ciders and a range of craft canned beer also available. CAMRA Suffolk Pub Of The Year 2016. Wood-fired pizzas every Friday from 5pm until 9pm. Live music Sunday afternoons at 3pm. CLOSED THURSDAYS.
Table booked for the night. Made to feel very welcome and we tasted several really good cask beers in fact I had the best pint since the start of lock-down earlier in the year courtesy of Nene Valley Brewery. To finish the evening I tasted an astonishing imperial black icecream IPA at 11% . Brilliant! Cheese and Charcuterie was served with various fresh bread rolls, biscuits, olives, gherkins and chutney. More than enough for anyone and don't eat before hand thinking its going to be nibbles! Several different cheeses and air dried fermented salami and Chorizo sausage. A great evening was had by all of us and despite covid restrictions if felt like a night at the boozer if a little quiet.

What an excellent pub, the beers were kept superbly and what a great selection of Green Jack beers. I hope they don’t mind me saying it’s a bit of a spit and sawdust type of pub, but I liked it. They do a nice selection of various filled rolls to help soak up the beer. I will certainly be back.
