We’re excited that work to restore and extend Lowestoft Town Hall has begun on site. We’re carefully removing the ad hoc extensions to the Grade II listed building, whilst making the most of the good weather and repairing the historic roofs and facades. The buildings should be completed in 2026, and will be the administrative and civic home of our client, Lowestoft Town Council, with a restored Council Chamber, a Register Office, exhibition spaces, coworking and event hall. We have already found lots of exciting things to put back on display, as well as accommodating the extensive collection currently in the council’s archives.
Barnes Construction are the contractor and the design team includes Max Fordham, Momentum Engineering, RGA, Cahill and Daniel Connal Partnership. The Lowestoft Town Hall Project is a Lowestoft Town Council initiative supported National Lottery Players via the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Funding support is also provided by Historic England, The Architectural Heritage Fund, Towns Fund, and East Suffolk Council.
