Idyllic seaside town in UK that's so posh it's known as 'Chelsea-on-Sea'

Southwold in Suffolk is known as 'Chelsea-on-Sea' - it's a popular spot for holidaymakers and boasts a high street almost entirely populated by independent shops This charming Suffolk village is known for its exclusive atmosphere, with a high street almost entirely filled with independent shops and cafes. Often dubbed Chelsea-on-Sea, this scenic town is the perfect spot for those in search of unique shopping experiences and snug cafes, all set against the stunning backdrop of a beautiful beach and striking seaside landmarks. Southwold in Suffolk has gained a reputation as one of the UK's most upmarket towns. Its town council has consistently blocked attempts by chains such as Costa and Waterstones to set up shop here. However, Waterstones was eventually allowed to open, on the condition that it kept the name of its predecessor, Southwold Books. ‌ ‌ As a result, the town is primarily made up of independent businesses, ranging from quaint cafes to unique shops like the Amber Shop, which specialises in amber jewellery and even boasts an accompanying museum. Among the town's landmarks is its impressive lighthouse, built in 1890. It houses a rotating 150-watt lamp with a range of 24 nautical miles. Visitors can even take tours of the lighthouse, courtesy of the local Adnams Brewery, reports the Express. Southwold Pier is a hub of traditional seaside entertainment, with model yacht regattas regularly held on its boating pond, a tradition dating back to the Victorian era. At the end of the pier, you'll discover a quirky collection of coin-operated arcade machines, crafted by artist and engineer Tim Hunkin, with paddle steamers often docking nearby. The Southwold Museum offers visitors a chance to delve into the town's history, showcasing a variety of exhibits on its local and natural history. Southwold has a rich history, having been home to George Orwell during his formative years and again in his 30s, where he wrote some of his books. Like many coastal towns, Southwold's main attraction is its beach, featuring golden sands overlooked by charming colourful beach huts. Despite some tourists claiming the town is on the decline, it hasn't deterred many visitors who are still drawn to its charm. For those wishing to experience Southwold first-hand, a double room at Amber House can be booked for approximately £85 per night.

UK seaside town gets £1.8million facelift for summer including new arcade

A popular UK holiday hotspot has been given a £1.8million facelift in time for the summer holidays and it's sure to be a hit with families wanting to make the most of the seaside There's nothing quite like a trip to the British seaside; the sandy beaches, the pretty promenades, the fish and chip shops. But this summer there'll be an extra boost for families heading to one popular hotspot. That's because Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, has been given a £1.8million facelift in the form of its Britannia Pier. The seaside icon has received a huge makeover complete with a new amusement arcade and facade, in a move that aims to be "returning it to its former glory". ‌ Originally built in 1858, the Victorian timber pier has undergone several transformations (including being rebuilt and destroyed by a fire) and was reconstructed in 1958. Now it's been restored to be "bright, shiny and back to its former heyday" in time for the summer holidays. There is a second phase of work expected to start later this year, including new food stalls and cabins, but this won't be until October when the peak summer season has passed. ‌ There's plenty on offer for holidaymakers whether they're planning to tuck into snacks from food stalls, have a go on the family-friendly fairground rides, or relax at one of the bars to be found in the area. You can find out more about exactly what's on offer this summer on Then of course when you've had enough fun at the pier, the town offers miles of golden sands and swim-friendly waters that rival European hotspots, as well as a bustling promenade lined with restaurants, bars and shops. It's not the only exciting development in the popular seaside resort. Just recently, SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth opened its doors to a brand new £1million aquarium display, complete with over 30 marine species including blacktip reef sharks, moray eels, tangs, and angelfish. Still, the biggest highlight though has to be the 250,000-litre Ocean Tank and Tunnel where you can walk right under the fish and sea creatures, or keep an eye out for the impressive shipwreck habitat in the waters! In fact, this was inspired by HMS Gloucester, a royal warship which sank off the Norfolk coast in 1682. The shipwreck itself was discovered by two divers in 2007, but it wasn't until 2021 that the full public reveal was announced. For those who like to get up close to the sea creatures, the new aquarium will also feature specially created immersive viewing windows from which you can look out for the various marine life. Being such a popular destination in the summer months, it's worth noting that Great Yarmouth can get quite busy. Still, for those who are visiting there will be a series of fun events on across the holidays. Highlights include a Wheels Festival across June 21-22, the annual free fireworks on the Golden Mile on Wednesdays from July 23 to August 27, and fireworks displays every Tuesday near Hemsby Beach from July 23.

Grace Pervades review — Ralph Fiennes is magnetic

A great contemporary actor plays a great late-Victorian actor manager. Does the notion of Grace Pervades, a new play by David Hare starring Ralph Fiennes as Henry Irving, sound like theatre eating itself? It is a bit, though Fiennes is too magnetic and Hare's script too stacked with bon mots and insights ever to be less than interesting. Irving ran the Lyceum Theatre in London from 1878 to 1902, plying a proudly old-fashioned programme of great plays featuring great roles for Henry Irving. And Grace Pervades starts Fiennes's own season of actor-managing, directing As You Like It in August here before starring with his ex Francesca Annis in a new play, Small Hotel, in October. The play's best moments revolve around Irving's relationship, largely professional, with his leading lady, Ellen Terry. In fact you can't help but wish all of its moments were about them and there was less time spent on her theatrical offspring, Edward Gordon Craig and Edith Craig. Partly that's because Fiennes, donning a series of ever-whitening wigs, is sincere, caustic, reserved, repressed, vain, generous — whatever the moment requires — and you wish for as much as you can get of him. Miranda Raison, as Ellen Terry, is engagingly elegant but the character feels like a foil to Irving MARC BRENNER Fiennes shows Irving the actor-micromanager, fastidiously controlling except when it comes to Terry. She can do whatever she likes. Miranda Raison lends Terry an engagingly elegant lightness but struggles, I think, to inhabit fully a character who feels like a foil to the more tunnel-visioned Irving, much though she pulls him up on his foibles. • David Hare interview: 'I have been heartily kicked by the BBC' Time that might have fleshed out this pair more is instead spent following the influential yet seemingly impossible Edward and the crusading Edith, who produces huge numbers of plays while living in a menage a trois in Kent. Every exchange has something going for it, but you wonder what all these character studies and theatrical theories are supposed to add up to. Still, a large cast rises to the challenges of a production, by Jeremy Herrin, played out on a huge area with visible wings and proscenium arch upstage (design by Bob Crowley). Jordan Metcalfe gives Edward a prim perfectionism that makes it easier to buy into this self-proclaimed genius as a great postulator than a great libertine. Bohemian Edith is played with name-making aplomb in her professional theatre debut by Ruby Ashbourne Serkis. (Suitably enough, in a play about theatrical dynasties, she is the child of two successful actors, Lorraine Ashbourne and Andy Serkis.) The cast rises to the challenge of the production MARC BRENNER Do we ever quite know what the story of these differently driven, devotedly theatrical types is supposed to make us feel? Not really. And it's one of those plays that changes time and place often enough that characters spend too much time reminding each other who they are and what they are about. But take it on its own slightly rambling terms and Grace Pervades has far too many ideas in its head ever to be dull.★★★☆☆ 150mins Bath Theatre Royal, to Jul 19, Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews
