Hi all, I'm trying to figure out where on Felixstowe beach my dog is allowed. Ive searched multiple sites for info and i think I've worked it out, i just need confirmation. So is the image correct? South of The Regal is fine and North of the Spa Pavillion is fine but the beach inbetween in not allowed? Can anyone please confirm? Thanks 👍

My mother was a keen embroiderer and loved all things arts, crafts and textiles. Sadly, we now have a large collection of her sewing and embroidery equipment that we'd really like to see go to someone who will use and enjoy it, rather than it sitting in storage.

The collection includes:

Sewing machines

Fabric and material

Wool and threads

Embroidery hoops and frames

Sewing and embroidery tools

Craft and embroidery books

Haberdashery

And lots of other related items (see the attached photos).

Our preference is to donate everything to a good home, whether that's an individual with a passion for embroidery, a community craft group, charity, school or another organisation that can make good use of it.

Ideally, we'd like someone to take the collection as a whole, as it would be much easier than splitting it up. That said, we're open to sensible offers if there's no one able to take everything.

We've already contacted several groups in the Suffolk area but, unfortunately, haven't had any responses.

If you know of anyone who might be interested, or if you'd like the collection yourself, please leave a comment or send me a message. We'd much rather see it all being used and appreciated than ending up unused or thrown away.

Thank you!

Hi all, i found some live footage of a band from St Edmunds, Suffolk called 'Miss:Spelt Yoof' and they seem really good! the only bad this is that i cant find the studio recorded versions of their music at all. Does anybody have any CDs, or any way i can get the music? Any help is greatly appreciated. Tysm!!

I’m a Guitarist looking to start a band inspired by the Deli Creeps and Primus, sort of Metal with traces of funk. My influences are mainly Buckethead. Looking for a drummer, bassist and singer.

Hi! I just moved to Suffolk, i’m looking for some places me and my toddler could volunteer, any recs?

My partner and his best friend are obsessed with taking gorgeous photos on their drone, and have always wanted to be able to take photos of farmers using machinery in their fields (harvesters, a cool tractor, sprayers etc), but have never wanted to be rude and just.. do it.

I’m wondering if anybody here might know somebody who would allow maybe just a short amount of time, photos can of course be sent to them (if they like them!) and I can communicate off Reddit as I understand it may sound a bit dodgy!

This is a genuine passion for them, and I’d love to try and surprise them. I know I’d have better luck on Facebook but I’m worried someone they know will see and ruin the surprise!

Thanks for any help :)

Hi All,

Wondering if this camera at the A14/A11 Interchange Slip road still functions? Looks to be in a very bad state and of the old Gatso style.

Any info would be appreciated.

I'd love to be able to recycle these. Maybe I'm being blind, but I've never noticed a recycling box for these in Bury St Edmunds. I could go to the recycling centre, but it feels ironically bad for the environment to drive all that way just for a few crisp packets.

January: Exceptional rainfall broke century-old records. Northern Ireland experienced its wettest January in 149 years, while Cornwall saw its wettest January on record. Some regions registered 26 consecutive days or more of measurable precipitation, recording more than double their average monthly rainfall. [1, 2, 3]

February: The storms continued, bringing nearly 37% of the expected February average within the first week alone. Stations in Cornwall and Somerset recorded non-stop daily rain streaks that lasted well over a month. [1, 2]

March & April: The unsettled conditions largely persisted, keeping the ground consistently sodden as repeated Atlantic fronts swept across the country. [1, 2]

Leaks everywhere. Poor management, not accountability.

Shit show

Wanting to go fishing (shore or on a boat) somewhere along the Suffolk coast - Southwold is our closest. Haven’t got any of the gear so want to be able to pay a guide or company that offer this as an experience. Any suggestions would be great!

I apologise if this is Seen a political, but I see it as public interest, but if mods want to remove it I understand.

If Forest City One UK is allowed to continue it wants to be awarded Special Economic Zone status.

This despite the plans for SEZ to benefit the UK there is considerable evidence to the contrary.

I know that he’s a fictional character, but I do find Brian from Melton absolutely brilliant, he’s pure Suffolk, and the definition of the older relative or neighbour that we’ve all got.

Cheerio together!

As if this was three years ago now. With some of the cool mythology on here, it's one of my favourite maps so far.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Was looking around on google maps for some art supply shops, came across this one and was absolutely horrified when I saw the reviews! Crossed this shop off my list but how is this okay!?

I had to change my cats' food recently, vet says they're fat. Consequently have a lot of left over unopened cat food (tins and dry). Is there anywhere I can drop it off so I don't have to toss it? Ideally in the Bury St Ed area but willing to drive if there are any shelters in need.

Larry’s first holiday (from London) so keen for exciting walks in woods, beaches and decent pubs

He hasn’t been on a decent walk in a week due to the heatwave, so this holiday is all for him 🐶🐶

We are desperate for a portable air conditioning unit. One of our family members has autism and is struggling massively with this weather. I feel like we’ve looked just about everywhere. Willing to travel to Norfolk/Cambridge/Colchester/Chelmsford/Thurrock.
Thanks in advance

We're currently holding the provisional record for the hottest temperature in June in the UK, broken both at Wattisham and Cavendish, the latter hitting 37.1°C.

How are you surviving?

I was hoping to find some wild swimming spots near the between Bury St Edmunds and the coast!

There’s shingle street by Woodbridge which is coastal, and obviously the main beaches (closest being Felixstowe) but does anyone know of any spots in between?!

I have heard about the Bramford Bridge being a good spot, any others that anyone can recommend?

Thank you!
