Arts, crafts and such
- Shame! Southwold Books is closing in March 2011. Just couldnt carry on any more without the cat in charge..
- Sad to report the cat is no longer in Southwold Books thanks to a particularly useless driver passing by in August 2008.
- FREE VISITS - Sufffolk Open Studios in June. Artists throughout Suffolk invite you to visit their studios FREE- work may be for sale but no obligation to buy- just be interested in what we do. FREE directories available from libraries, galleries, tourist offices, shops etc. Our studio open 15/16th June near Woodbridge-
chestnuttstudios.co.uk- lots to see
FREE papermaking demonstrations, given. Bring a J cloth and a plastic bag to take your own piece of paper home.
- Waveney Valley Model Railway Club is the Model Railway Club for NE Suffolk, is based at Grange Farm Centre, Barsham, nr Beccles and has over 50 members. Club nights are Tuesday, Wednesday (Gauge 0 and 1) and Thursday (Main Club night) also Thursday afternoons. Club organises annual Southwold Model Railway Exhibition on first weekend in August at Saint Felix School.
- The Emporium shut in 2002ish. Loads of other antique/junk places tho'.
- The Drunken Boat bookshop has long ago sobered up & vanished, so has its replacement, the Pinkneys Lane bookshop, and the site has been Southwold Books (mostly rare & secondhand books, but sometimes some other stranger stuff too...) since Nov 2003. But it still has lots of poetry, some s/f & fantasy/horror, and the same cat as ever.
- Southwold is FULL of art galleries and shops, mainly selling pictures by local artists.
- quite a few cos older people like that stuff
- The drunken boat bookshop has been called the Pinkneys Lane Bookshop for the last 2 years, nothing else has changed and it still has the same visiting cat
- For a good range of second-hand books, try the Drunken Boat Bookshop. Especially good on poetry. And the Emporium on High Street is also worth a try, not just for books.
- CROCKED HOUSE has some wkd stuff
- Tweedy and twee on high street used to live 14 miles away and it was worth travelling.
- Loads of antique, art and craft shops
