Events for Monday, 27th May 2024

Featuring works by the late Southwold artist Brian Bennett, a self-taught artist, who became a serious painter in his mid-thirties. He exhibited widely in London and in Suffolk. Brian was a long-serving member of the Southwold Art Circle.
His earlier paintings were representational but in Suffolk he became interested in exploring surface textures, cracked wood, rusting metal, peeling paint, on details of boats, doors, barns, fishing sheds and the like. This led in turn to the more abstract imagery of his later work. Sale is in aid of the Friends of Southwold Library.

Taking place 25th-27th May inclusive. Always a popular event with all proceeds going to urgently needed church repairs. Everything on sale is good quality second-hand: second-hand books, fiction includes a large number of sci fi titles; non-fiction local history is a specialism and there are often other rarities. Quality second-hand clothing; bric-a-brac, as well as LPs, DVDs and CDs. Children’s books and toys; plants. All items are individually priced. Refreshments all day and free car parking at IP17 2LX. Entry is free.

Model yacht sailing has been taking place in Southwold for over 100 years. A tremendously fun and absorbing activity which is very easy to get the hang of. All ages and abilities can join in. Anyone is welcome to come and have a go at sailing – we can even lend you a boat for the day (please book in advance) and show you what to do.
Today, regular races and the May Cup: for younger sailors–in which their true ‘seamanship’ is tested by them sailing a different boat to the one they have practiced with! Plus Trophies, also for all B and C Class sailors. Next Regatta 24th July.

Come and visit this atmospheric Grade II* listed building, once a farmhouse but with a long history as a non-conformist meeting house, evidenced by its superb interior. There are toilet facilities. Limited car parking opposite the Chapel.
