Beccles Photo Club
A local photography club that prides itself on providing a friendly and inclusive environment for photographers of all skill levels. Whether you're snapping shots on a smartphone or composing with a mirrorless masterpiece, our camera club is open to everyone.
About Us
Beccles Photo Club is a community of enthusiastic photographers who meet fortnightly to share a love of making images.
Whether you’re experimenting with your very first camera, snapping on a smartphone, or refining years of experience, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
Our club is a vibrant mix, and we celebrate members from every generation. All members under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at each meeting.
Our regular programme includes tutorial evenings, guest speakers, club outings, and competitions. We aim to spark creativity, build skills, and encourage feedback in a friendly, supportive environment.
We host club meetings on alternate Tuesdays at The Waveney Centre in Beccles, NR34 9HE, starting at 7:15 pm.
You’re invited to come along and try us out for free at your first couple of meetings. If you decide to join, membership is just £50 per year. Refreshments are included with your membership fee, which is not always the case with other clubs.
Great photography, great company, and great value.
Our news feed on the home page contains our next meeting and a brief evening program.
