In medieval times the two ports of Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn were major players in English sea-born trade, the former broadly facing the Low Countries and also focused on fishing, the latter facing the Hanseatic League ports in the Baltic and with onward trade routes inland. Sadly both towns have steadily declined as ports for both trade and fishing, so we are drawing attention to these two beautiful and historic towns by focusing on their cultural strengths, exchanging artworks from one port with artworks from the other, exhibiting them in galleries in each other’s port and connecting them visually, despite the surprising distance that separates them.

Festival Extra: Ronnie Scott's Anniversary tour, the Ronnie Scott's All Stars.	27 King's Lynn Festival Extra: exhibition Port to Port 12th October, 2019 11:00am – 27th October, 2019 4:00pm Fermoy Gallery, Guildhall Complex King Street King's Lynn, PE30 1ET Port-2-Port is a brace of art exhibitions curated by Norfolk Contemporary Art Society. In medieval times the two ports of Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn were major players in English sea-born trade, the former broadly facing the Low Countries and also focused on fishing, the latter facing the Hanseatic League ports in the Baltic and with onward trade routes inland. Sadly both towns have steadily declined as ports for both trade and fishing, so we are drawing attention to these two beautiful and historic towns by focusing on their cultural strengths, exchanging artworks from one port with artworks from the other, exhibiting them in galleries in each other’s port and connecting them visually, despite the surprising distance that separates them. Supported by: East Anglia Art Fund; Norfolk Contemporary Art Society; Norfolk County Council King's Lynn Festival Extra: exhibition Port to Port King's Lynn Festival Extra: Walk, King's Lynn People and Places in the 1950s 27th October, 2019 11:00am Custom House (TIC) Purfleet Quay Kings Lynn, PE30 1HP Historian Dr Paul Richards explores the people and places iconic in the 1950s to King's Lynn.

Crazy Rich Asians - King's Lynn Community Cinema Club 31st October, 2019 7:30pm Guildhall of St George Guildhall Complex King Street King's Lynn , PE30 1ET The story follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Wu) as she accompanies her boyfriend, Nick Young (Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the son of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things. Members pay a subscription of £17 for a season of films, Summer (May-October) and Winter (November-April). Entry to films for members is free. £5 day membership available on the door.
