Suffolk

We like the Fisher Theatre Bungay with it's intimate bar and an alcove by the stage just perfect for photographers.  Starting tomorrow there's a sponsored Harry Potter read, so you can help the theatre and have an excuse to dress up Hogwarts.

High Tide has returned to Suffolk with the two hander More Ghost Stories by Candlelight .  In Bury St Edmunds tonight impressively (to us at least) there are closed captions on hand held tablets available.  We think closed captions might be American for sub-titles.

Suffolk Police are asking people to come forward if they have had power tools stolen during commercial burglaries between October 2023 and April 2024.  Items have been recovered and can be seen online.

♫ The Red Rooster festival at Euston Hall (Suffolk if only just) is offering early bird tickets for next year.  So far we can't find even a provisional line up for 2025 ... perhaps they've been inspired by Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake in Norwich?

Last Thursday Suffolk Police Commissioner Tim Passmore was elected for the fourth consecutive time but his vote had more than halved from 112,139 in 2021 to 52,968.  (As far as we can see East Suffolk District Council didn't feel the need to publish the result.)

Difficult to imagine amidst the present unseasonal chill but last year's Suffolk Dog Day was cancelled because of a heat wave.  Hopefully it won't happen again this September as the St Elizabeth Hospice fundraiser returns at the wonderfully moated Helmingham Hall.

Suffolk Constabulary mail shots are usually incredibly wordy and of course have to share the Crime Commissioner's comments on the subject but they've managed to keep this animation describing county lines drug dealing to the point.

Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Suffolk Coastal in the upcoming general election (the government can only put it off for so long) is Jenny Riddell-Carpenter.  Despite 15 years experience in media relations and reputation management she has no social media presence we can find ... perhaps that'll change.

The mud run at Hollesley certainly wouldn't have suited small children but the air ambulance fund raiser Only The Brave at Euston in September has a 3km event for families with children five years and over.
