The Locks Inn is a remote riverside pub at the limit of the navigation on the River Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. With moorings and pontoon, it is accessible by boat, canoe, kayak and SUP. It is also accessibly via a long track from Station Road in Geldeston for cars, bikes and pedestrians.
In 2020 it was put up for sale by auction at very short notice and its future as a pub looked in serious doubt. But the community purchased the pub and set it up as a Community Benefit Society. Almost 1600 people are now shareholder members of this iconic pub, giving it the widest ownership of any pub in the country.
The pub has undergone a series of renovations since 2020 and is now a great riverside venue. The Locks is a family friendly pub offering great food, quality ales from local breweries and a wide range of musical events.
