“It’s like a beating of the national bounds, living proof that we are a maritime nation and we all have a little bit of sea water in our veins.”

Following two successful grants this year, Lucy and supporters of Suffolk Community Foundation visited The Sutton Hoo Ships Company at The Long Shed in Woodbridge.

The Long Shed is where, for the last seven years, a dedicated team of over 160 volunteers have been reconstructing the world-famous 7th-century Sutton Hoo burial ship. Using the original archaeological evidence, traditional tools and authentic materials the volunteers are endeavouring to fill a part of history that has not been covered before.

A visit is highly recommended and entry is free.

Thank you for showing us around. 💜

If you’re visiting the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival during the day this Saturday, why not make an evening of it and join us afterwards when two Suffolk voices come together at Jubilee Hall for a fascinating conversation about the countryside, coast and communities that depend upon them.
🐟
Fisherman and food writer Mike Warner A Passion for Seafood and hedgelayer, conservationist and author Richard Negus know their subjects from the ground (and sea!) up. Together they’ll explore the realities of working these landscapes, the challenges facing farming and fishing, and the opportunities to protect the livelihoods, traditions and heritage that make this part of Suffolk so distinctive. And in Aldeburgh, where fishing remains such a visible part of the town’s identity, it feels like a particularly timely conversation.

📅 Saturday 26th September, 7pm
📍 Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall
🎟️ Tickets £15 https://www.ticketsource.com/aldeburgh-jubilee-hall/talk-custodians-of-the-land-sea-with-mike-warner-and-richard-negus/e-qroxyp
