On 8th Sept 1903, Buffalo Bill’s spectacular wild west show came thundering into Lowestoft. This fascinating and forgotten moment in Lowestoft’s history is brought to life in the music and words of Lowestoft’s own John Ward, who will present this full-length theatre piece with his excellent 5-piece band and the rich-voiced narration of renowned storyteller, Andy Jennings.  The show will feature a rolling photographic backdrop of historical images and newly created art. Come and hear the story of how the lives of Lowestoft fisherman, Jack, and Lakota brave, Soaring Hawk intertwined. Added: 23 September, 2023

You go beneath some scaffolding, through a couple of doors, turn left and suddenly there's a different vista in front of you. Fairy lights, huge Desmond Baldry local landscapes, there's Books and Prints, an array of tables. Even a real piano. A counter. And quite likely, a smiling Piers. It all draws you in.

The Grit is an inviting place, which is odd as it's housed inside a brutal fortress County Court constructed in 1989, then closed twenty seven years later.
