Felixstowe News — Suffolk's Coastal Voice
Felixstowe News was established to fill a clear need: a dedicated, high-quality digital news platform focused entirely on Felixstowe, Suffolk. While regional newspapers cover Felixstowe as part of a broader patch, we are here solely for Felixstowe — its people, its port, its heritage, and its future.
Felixstowe is a remarkable town. It is home to the UK's largest container port, which handles nearly half of all UK containerised trade. It is the birthplace of the British beach hut. It has a rich military history stretching back to the last opposed invasion of England in 1667. And it is a vibrant, welcoming seaside community with a cultural life that punches well above its weight.
We believe Felixstowe deserves a news source that matches its stature — authoritative, well-written, and deeply rooted in the community. That is what Felixstowe News aims to be.
"Felixstowe is a remarkable town — and it deserves a remarkable news source."
