Heritage Open Day – Everyday Histories
Venue: Aldeburgh Museum
Aldeburgh Museum is pleased to participate in Heritage Open Days with FREE ENTRY on 19th and 20th September, made possible with support from East Suffolk Heritage Open Days Small Grant Scheme.
Come and discover Aldeburgh’s rich and diverse history, displayed in the town’s iconic Moot Hall, a timber framed, Grade 1 listed Tudor building. Among our many treasures are amazing finds from the Anglo Saxon ship burial at Snape and the more recent excavations at Barbers Point including an Anglo-Saxon Claw Beaker. On display will be a couple ledgers from local Aldeburgh builder W C Reade, our most recent acquisition. Currently being sorted and worked through by a small team, this will be the first time they will be on public display. There is a new addition to the short fireplace films; ‘Aldeburgh in WWII’ and a brand new flip book of the life of the Moot Hall.
For our younger visitors; see what you’d look like dressed as a Mayor plus activities such as Discovery trail, colouring and a free walking trail with Snooks, Aldeburgh’s favourite, always dressed for the occasion dog.
