MARITIME WEEKEND – Film Screening – Life on The Deben

MARITIME WEEKEND – Film Screening – Life on The Deben

Sat 23 Oct 2021, 2:00PM

Life on the Deben captures the soul and spirit of a beautiful Suffolk river – its people, its astonishing history and its natural environment.

For a river just over 25 miles long, the Deben packs a mighty punch in terms of tranquil beauty,
ever-changing scenery and astonishing history.

The film traces the entire length of the Deben, from the secret and disputed upper reaches near Debenham
to the boatyards and bustle of Woodbridge down to the sea at Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry.
