Member Organisations
Waveney Heritage CIO
We collect and make accessible documents, photographs, oral histories and many other materials which record the history in all its forms of the River Waveney, its peoples, villages, and towns.
We support learning and the acquisition of useful skills and encourage social participation by people of different ages and backgrounds by inviting them to talks and exhibitions. We welcome volunteers, encouraging them to make use of their talents to enhance both our joint experience and their own.
We are based at the Old School, Grove Road, Brockdish and are grateful to the Diocese of Norwich, the owners, who have allowed us to continue the tradition of learning and self-advancement envisaged by the founders of the school in 1845.
Waveney Heritage CIO is a registered charity

Beyond the Image Photographers’ Gallery is a unique place of opportunity in the heart of Suffolk.
Established in 2005, the gallery is a not-for-profit organisation run by a group of like-minded photographers who exhibit their own work through quarterly themed exhibitions. The gallery space also allows the group to give something back to the community in the form of guest exhibitions in any media, photo-shoots and courses.
Situated on the beautiful Thornham Walks estate in Suffolk, a visit to the gallery can be combined with all that the estate has to offer, including 12 miles of woodland walks. Refreshments are available from the Forge tea room and the Coach House restaurant.
Exhibition Space
Exhibitors in any media are welcomed and have a choice of three exhibition areas to show their work.
Photo Shoots

CraftCo
CRAFTCO is an outlet for contemporary crafts and applied arts from East Anglia, with changing exhibitions in our upstairs gallery.
The Great Eastern Craft Co-operative, or CRAFTCO for short, began in 1987 when ten local craftspeople formed a co-operative and opened a shop and gallery in Southwold Market Place. Five years later they bought a house in the High Street, originally a forge, which is now CRAFTCO.
With about 100 associate members, a core group runs and organises the shop. We meet monthly to discuss co-op business and consider newly submitted work. We are always interested in encouraging new makers. Our aim is to provide a permanent showcase for contemporary applied arts from East Anglia. Come and see our unique prints, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and toys. If you are interested in ordering any item, please phone 01502 723211 during opening hours.
Easterly Artists
Easterly Artists formed in 2018 as a mutually supportive group, to promote the practice of local visual artists and encourage awareness and appreciation of their work. Members are all practising artists living and/or working within a 20-mile radius of Ness Point, the most easterly part of the UK. The group encompasses work across a range of media from oil paints to drawing, printmaking to ceramics and artistic wood-turning to sculptural assemblages using found objects.
