Broadway House is "open house" to the over 60's - both resident and visitors to Felixstowe. It is not a Club, so you don't have to "join" or pay a membership fee, to be able to come in. It is provided as a haven for over 60's to rest, have some tea/coffee or other light refreshments, meet or make new friends, use our Wi-Fi facility or just sit quietly in the company of others. Come by yourself or with someone else and stay for a few minutes or a few hours.

WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL OR RESPITE CARE SERVICES

We have tried to create the atmosphere of a friendly and welcoming lounge - so we don't put on organised activities.  But you're welcome to play cards, Scrabble and other table-top games, bring your knitting or craft-work and the like. 

 

Teas coffee and other refreshments are available - but again no pressure to buy anything and because we don't sell "food" (apart from biscuits and a few other things) we have no objection to visitors bringing in their own sandwiches or other things to eat. (But please no strong smelling items).
