Seagull Theatre Pakefield

Discover The Seagull Theatre: A Hub for Community Arts and Live Theatre

Nestled in the heart of Pakefield, near Lowestoft, The Seagull Theatre stands as a vibrant community arts centre, offering a diverse range of performances and events. Originally established as The Morton Road School, a junior day school, the building has seen an incredible transformation over the years.

During World War II, The Morton Road School ceased operations, and the building remained closed for several decades. However, in the 1960s, the vision for an arts center was born when the county council converted the site into what would become The Seagull Theatre. This cultural gem is named after the seagulls that frequently grace the nearby coast, reflecting the connection between the community and the sea.

Today, The Seagull Theatre is a cherished local landmark and cultural hub, hosting not only local talent but also regional and national touring theatre companies. It has become an essential space for the arts, offering a welcoming venue for both established and emerging artists. The theatre’s programming features a variety of performances—from live theatre productions and comedy shows to music concerts, dance performances, and film screenings.

For anyone seeking a place where art meets community, The Seagull Theatre is a must-visit destination—where every show is more than just a performance; it’s an experience that brings people together. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor, the theatre invites you to be part of something special and enjoy the wealth of talent it brings to life.
