Summer in Suffolk Museums

Looking for fun and adventure this summer? Why not pack a picnic and join in the fun with Suffolk Museums!

Throughout the summer holidays museums across the county will offer a jam-packed line-up of exciting events, activities, workshops and trails for the whole family to enjoy. Most museums and activities are either low-cost or totally free. Many sites also offer free parking and refreshments or a chance to unwind with a family picnic in the sun.

We'll be adding more events to this page from the end of June so do check back to see what's happening.
