Posted on 13th April 201920th July 2023 by Angela Wright

Having recently picked up a leaflet advertising the show, I was really surprised to see it was celebrating its 10th Anniversary. How time flies. I had heard good things about the show from friends and had intended to vi...

Open Farm Sunday at Easton Farm Park

Posted on 18th July 201815th September 2018 by Angela Wright

Open Farm Sunday was a perfect opportunity for us to take a trip to Easton Farm Park. Its been many years since I last visited so I was keen to see what it had to offer. As you can imagine there were no shortage of animals to see and it was great that they were all within easy reach once through the entrance. Its a great place for children (and big kids who like animals too!) as there was a goo...

Lots of Surprises at Old Jet Market

Posted on 8th July 201815th September 2018 by Angela Wright

My trip this weekend to Old Jet Market held lots of surprises, which is why I love living in Suffolk! Old Jet Market is quite unique. Its not necessarily the market itself (which was great by the way), it was more the location that was the biggest surprise for me. This monthly market is held in and around an old aircraft hanger at Bentwaters, an old airfield in Rendlesham. Why I enjoyed my vis...

Lavenham Christmas Fair

Posted on 15th December 201719th July 2018 by Angela Wright

The great thing about events is that they get you out and about visiting places; take the Lavenham Christmas Fair as an example.

The Lavenham Christmas Fair was a perfect time to find out! Lavenham Christmas Fair I arrived e...

3 Great Reasons to Visit Art on the Prom

Posted on 16th September 20178th November 2017 by Angela Wright

Suffolk is full of events all year round and there really is something to suit everybody. For me, Art on the Prom is way up the top for a great day out and one I always visit if I can. With so many events to choose from and many of them repeated each year there is the danger that you will do as I've done in the past, put it in your diary then something else crops up and you say - "Oh well I...

Arthur Ransome’s East Coast Celebration

Posted on 14th May 201714th May 2017 by Angela Wright

We all know events can be fun but they are also a great way of learning new things, take the Arthur Ransome's East Coast Celebration for example. I'm not sure if I should admit it but up until two weeks ago I didn't know who Arthur Ransome was. Although I read books as a child - looking back I think all the ones I chose were pretty much written by Enid Blyton! Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazon ...

The Beccles Antiques Street Market has been on my list of things to do for a few years now and this year I finally made it, although some may say I was a bit eager arriving at the market at 9 am on a Sunday morning but it was worth it!
