There is the chance to meet with creative minded people in Lowestoft with the introduction of a new networking event at the Marina Theatre.

On February 23, at 6pm, the first Creative Forum will take place. This is an evening for artists, creatives, producers, arts organisations (both existing and emerging) to meet, strengthen connections and enable better arts networking in Lowestoft and the wider eastern region.

The theatre is planning to organise regular informal meet ups, talks, workshops, information and skills-sharing sessions, debates and conferences, and the possibility from time to time to see shows at the Marina Theatre.

They will work with the members to develop, define and programme what the groups feels will benefit them and there will be an opportunity in the meet up to share current projects in a quickfire five minute 'pitch-up'. This is a free event and there will also be refreshments available.

Please note the forum will take place in the Marina's first floor meeting and rehearsal space, which is accessed by stairs only.
