Busy Battery of Ideas in Lowestoft

The Battery of Ideas in Lowestoft's London Road North

There's plenty happening in London Road North, Lowestoft at the Battery of Ideas.

This weekend you can step into a world of wonder with an enchanting live music experience designed for young children and their families.

From climbing up mountains to diving into the depths of the ocean and even venturing into outer space, this pop-up concert is the perfect introduction to classical music for children and their adults.

Meanwhile - come see Port to Port.  This is an ambitious, travelling installation project by artist Sophie Giller, produced by The Art Station in collaboration with First Light Festival, SPILL Festival and Hamilton MAS. Over the next 12 months, the artwork will journey between three Suffolk coastal towns – Lowestoft, Ipswich, and Felixstowe – growing and transforming at each stage.  

Helen Dawson, Project Manager at the Battery of Ideas, spoke to us at East Suffolk One - about what to expect!
