Stepping over the border for the first time, ‘River’s Edge’ will showcase new work by Kate Giles, exploring the Nar and Bure river valleys, and sculpture by Jack Wheeler, Beth Groom and Emily Mayer, alongside a wonderful selection of East Anglian artists whose work strongly connects with our coastal environment.

The booming Broads In their 40th anniversary year, Eastern Angles are back doing what they do best – touring across the East of England with a new play telling a regional story. 32
The play, Booming Voices, aims to capture the magic of the Broads and explore their future. From a series of interviews held in the pandemic, Director, Ivan Cutting, uses the experience and voices of people living on the Broads to tell a new, unheard story of this iconic landscape, cleverly fusing real voices, science, and nature to explore the past and question the future. Running from the 27th of April to the 12th of June, it includes special site-specific performances in Beccles and the chance to watch from home. www.easternangles.co.uk
