The Seagull, Theatre and arts centre in Pakefield, Lowestoft, United Kingdom
The Seagull operates in a converted school building with a main auditorium, recording studio, dance studio, and on-site bar for entertainment activities.
Established in 1967, the building previously served as Morton Road School from 1897 to 1939 before becoming a vocational training center after World War II.
The theater presents diverse performances including plays, concerts, films, and live music shows that highlight both local talent and touring performers.
The venue maintains a seating capacity of 112 people and functions through the dedication of fifty volunteers alongside two paid staff members.
Suffolk County Council's funding withdrawal in 2006 led to a community-driven rescue campaign supported by Dame Judi Dench through the SOS Charity Trust Group.
