The Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival runs 26–27 September 2026 at Snape Maltings. Stay at The Firs, a countryside retreat under an hour away, 2 hours from London, 45 minutes from Norwich.

The best Suffolk beaches for a summer day out from The Firs — Southwold, Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Dunwich, all under half an hour. A countryside retreat 2 hours from London, 45 minutes from Norwich.

The Firs sits in the Suffolk coast wildlife country that hosted BBC Springwatch at RSPB Minsmere. A countryside retreat for nature lovers, 2 hours from London, 45 minutes from Norwich.

The Suffolk coast is twenty-five minutes from The Firs. Here's how to spend an unhurried day along it — the pier, the painted huts, fish by the sea, and the gentle art of doing very little.

Join us for a delightful day of Christmas shopping and festive cheer at Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall's Christmas Craft Fair on November 22nd. Browse unique handmade crafts, enjoy local Suffolk food, and soak in the holiday spirit.
