Aldeburgh, what’s on in 2017.

By

Summer will soon be upon us once again and Aldeburgh has plenty to offer the discerning traveller in 2017.

Aldeburgh is well worth a visit at any time of the year. It boasts some excellent attractions. Beautiful beaches, wonderful shops and galleries, cosy pubs and restaurants as well as some of the best Fish and Chips in the county.

But summer is when the town really bursts into life.

If recent summers are anything to go by, we should be fortunate enough to enjoy another long hot sunny summer here in Suffolk. Just perfect for exploring the unspoilt jewel that is Aldeburgh.

The 9th to the 25th of June sees the Aldeburgh Festival taking place in the nearby Snape Maltings. Just a short drive from us here at Woodfarm Barns and an extremely popular destination amongst our guests.

This music and arts festival has grown in size, stature and popularity over the last few years and is now a major, must-visit event here in Suffolk. It’s one of the highlights of a packed calendar of arts and culture here in one of Britain’s most beautiful counties.

The annual festival has something for everyone, including Classical, Folk, Roots, World music, Jazz and even Opera. Aldeburgh festival 2017

What’s more if you ‘catch the bug’ and feel like exploring your own creativity then the festival has you covered with masterclasses and open sessions for us all to join in with.

For a full line up and details about all the events at 2017’s Aldeburgh Festival, visit the official page.

2017 also sees the return of Aldeburgh’s popular ‘Summer Theatre’, offering drama, comedy, romance and so much more. For a full list of performances, you can visit their official site.

So if you feel like spending some of summer 2017 here in Suffolk exploring Aldeburgh, then why not stay in a luxury holiday cottage whilst you do?

If you feel like pampering yourself this year then we have five barns for couples with luxurious Hot Tubs and you can check our availability here.
