With the doors closed and guests headed to the safety of their own homes, you may not think that The Hotel Victoria, sitting atop of the promenade on Lowestoft's glorious beach, would be the source of great content. But you're wrong! Hotel Manager Adam Greenfield is making the most of his isolation with a series of hilarious videos of his daily antics behind the scenes. 

From workouts and cleaning to providing live entertainment plus plenty of photos of the beach and sea, taken from the hotel's envious position - a must-follow that will brighten anyone's day!

The Eastern Angles team have been working hard from their homes to bring you a series of exciting new workshops and activities.  Last weekend they held two sold out play writing masterclasses with Sam Steiner (Lemons, Lemons, Lemons) and Ben Weatherill (Jellyfish). Both sessions were interactive and free of charge.

If you're a parent struggling for ways to keep your children entertained, then join these parent play writing classes! Taking place every Tuesday at 8pm, the classes are specifically for parents of children under 18 and will focus on writing techniques, how to get ideas on the page and how to create characters. 

This is an opportunity to flex those writing muscles for half an hour without any pressure (and to have some dedicated time to yourself! 

All experiences welcome, all you need is a pen and a piece of paper, no need to come with an idea and no expectation to share what you've written. Just 30 minutes for free flow writing.

All sessions will take place on Zoom and are provided free of charge, however if you are able to a small donation to Eastern Angles at the time of booking, will enable them to continue these fantastic classes!
