Bigger and better than ever, and back with a bang!
A popular summer trail is set to make a splash once more as it makes a welcome return to Lowestoft.
The Discover Lowestoft summer trail returns this weekend and will run over the summer holidays.
From this Saturday, July 20 people in Lowestoft will be able to join the search for a series of marine characters that have been hidden around the town.
With a call to all to "embark on an exciting adventure, find characters, and win fantastic prizes" a "summer of exploration and fun" is promised.
The annual summer trail has been organised once more by Lowestoft Vision — the Business Improvement District for the town — and is supported by local businesses.
Along with headline sponsors Richardson’s Family Entertainment Centre and mega sponsors ABP Ports, the trail offers a free, fun and entertaining activity for both visitors and locals throughout the summer as it is run from July 20 to September 2.
Simply collect a map from Lowestoft Library or download it online and use it to find and note the names of the hidden characters.
With the characters being hidden in various participating locations, the more names you collect, the bigger the prizes.
Greg Munford, chief executive of Richardson’s Leisure Limited, said: "We are thrilled to announce Richardson's Family Entertainment Centre as the headline sponsor of the Discover Lowestoft summer trail.
"At Richardson's, we deeply value the importance of local community partnerships and are committed to promoting the wonderful locations in which we operate and create employment.
"This collaboration highlights our dedication to supporting the community and enhancing the vibrancy of Lowestoft.
"We extend our thanks to Lowestoft Vision for their work in making Lowestoft a fantastic place to visit, shop, work and live.
"We eagerly anticipate this summer trail and look forward to welcoming more families to the town over the school summer holidays."
'The biggest yet'
Danny Steel, Chair of Lowestoft Vision, said: "It’s wonderful to see such a fantastic event for families to enjoy throughout the school holidays.
"The strong support and involvement from numerous businesses truly highlights our community's enthusiasm and commitment to making this event a memorable experience for everyone."
Angela Grey, Lowestoft Vision Business Improvement District Manager, added: "This is the final year that Discover Lowestoft will feature the beloved stars and fish as part of the summer trail, so we've made it the biggest yet!
"Look out for our auction at the end of the summer - you can bid and buy your favourite character to take home with you!"
