Battery of Ideas

Families are invited to Lowestoft’s newest creative space ‘The Battery’ this Saturday 23 November for a free entry, under-water themed activity experience. Open from 10am – 3pm, The Battery, has opened its doors on Lowestoft’s London Road North (the old Tesco) and is home to Archie the Squid, a life-sized replica of the giant squid from the Natural History Museum’s mollusc collection and a giant sea creature made from seaweed by artist Julia Lohmann and on loan from Messums Art Hub.

A range of interactive activities will be on offer, inspired by Natural History Museum and Cefas, and run by The Battery of Ideas team. Lowestoft Maritime Museum and Books & Prints will also be there, so you can have a go at making your own sea-themed print. This will be the first time The Battery has opened its doors to the public since the team behind First Light Festival took over the building in July.
