Colourful beach huts and a giant wind turbine are just some of a coastal town's most recognisable landmarks.

And now people are being urged to get creative in celebrating Lowestoft this summer - by shaping some scaled-down replicas of the town's best known structures.

Visitors to Lowestoft Library will be able to have a go at shaping some of the town's historic buildings from Lego bricks.

The library on Clapham Road South will host twice-weekly opportunities for visitors as a total of 10 creative building sessions - using Lego bricks - will take centre stage.

They are being funded through Lowestoft’s Heritage Action Zones and Suffolk Archives – a Suffolk County Council service – throughout the school holidays.

Free sessions are being held by Suffolk Archives at Lowestoft Library every Saturday, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, and by Suffolk Libraries at Lowestoft Library every Thursday, from 10.30am to noon, from now until the end of August.

Additional sessions will be held at East Point Pavilion from 11am to 4pm on September 9, September 10, September 16 and September 17 for Heritage Open Days.

The project marks completion of the five-year North Lowestoft Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) and London Road, Lowestoft High Street HAZ schemes, and aims to encourage local people to commemorate the town’s historically important and recognisable structures.

Recent restoration of the former Lowestoft Post Office building was among projects delivered through the HAZ programme, with funding from East Suffolk Council and Historic England, as well as the government-backed Town's Fund.

Dan Clery, assistant cabinet member for economic development at East Suffolk Council, said: "Everyone loves playing with Lego, and we hope people can have some fun this summer by coming along and recreating some of Lowestoft’s historic and iconic landmarks with small plastic bricks.

"It could be the restored Victorian post office, the colourful beach huts, the restyled East Point Pavilion, or, if you’re ambitious, the giant Gulliver wind turbine at Ness Point."
