We are delighted to announce that Citizens Advice East Suffolk will provide a monthly drop-in service in Kessingland on the first Monday of every month from 10am–12 noon from 3rd June 2024, open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.   

Since the formation of Citizens Advice East Suffolk, our services have been reviewed to ensure they meet the needs of the people in our communities. Establishing a presence in Kessingland will extend our reach in the Lowestoft area.

Chiara Saunders, Chief Officer, Citizens Advice East Suffolk, commented: “With our offices spread from Lowestoft in the north to Felixstowe in the south, we identified Kessingland as an area we have not been present in. Making sure we are accessible to as many East Suffolk residents as possible is an important part of our work. The start of the Kessingland service coincides with the opening of a new office in Woodbridge.”

Starts:  With a trial session on Monday 8th April 2024, due to Easter.

Time:  Will continue after that on the first Monday of the month from 10am–2pm.

Venue:  Marram Green, Kessingland, Near Lowestoft NR33 7AH.

Are you a baker, an artist, a photographer, a crafter, a sewer, a knitter, a gardener or a flower arranger? Then why not enter the Reydon Show? 

The show celebrates your talents big and small, plus small cash prizes and various trophies to be won. 

The show takes place on the first Saturday of August each year, so save the date for 2024 – Saturday, 3rd August. 

Entries have to be in on the Friday night or the Saturday morning and the exhibition opens at 2pm. 

We also have a range of children’s categories open to kids under 12, so if your child is a keen baker, gardener or arts and crafter, they can enter too – and kids enter free! 

So, plan your preserves, ready your radishes and corral your carnations ready for August. 

Programme of categories available at Bridgefoot Stores, Reydon nearer the date.
