before and after
Many of you are travelling from far and wide. Some adventurous souls might even camp.
To make the most of having you all here, we’ve planned a few bits and bobs over the weekend. All are optional (not Saturday—would be a shame to miss that bit).
Friday Night:
For anyone coming a long way and camping, feel free to arrive and pitch your tent from 5pm. Heads up: you might be roped into some last-minute prep.
If you’ll be looking for dinner you might want to head to a nearby pub (see below). Be sure to book ahead—it’s a bank holiday weekend.
Saturday Evening:
Campers will be welcome to bring a BBQ or other camping friendly cooking kit. Alternatively head to a pub (again, sorry about crashing your bank holiday: you’ll need to book ahead). Fires will be lit from 7pm ish and DJs Tali and Barkes will be on the decks providing some light entertainment.
Sunday Brunch:
Croissants and coffee will be available, should you like those things.
Accommodation
We imagine some of you might push off back to where you came from after we’re finished on Saturday. But if you are staying nearby there should be plenty of options. It’s a bank holiday weekend so book early to avoid being forced to camp. Here are some options to consider:
- Nearby villages with great spots: Lavenham, Bildeston, Monks Eleigh, Hitcham.
- Larger towns with more availability: Hadleigh, Long Melford and Bury St Edmunds.
For the adventurous, camping is available. You’re welcome to pitch a tent or crash in your car/van. Loos will be provided, and for those feeling bold, there’s a pond for swimming.
travel
Bring Back British Rail:
- Sudbury: via London Liverpool Street (change at Marks Tey).
- Stowmarket: via London Liverpool Street.
- See it, say it, sorted.
Taxis:
- Book your taxis in advance to avoid being stranded. Without a pre-booked ride, you’ll likely be walking!
