Clare Castle Country Park Trust Clare Castle Country Park is a beautiful park which invites you to relax, play, get close to nature and learn about Clare’s fascinating history and heritage.

Clare Castle Country Park is a unique destination in West Suffolk featuring remains of a Norman Castle, a disused Railway Station and beautiful open spaces for walks with family and friends. The park contains the remains of the 13th Century stone castle keep set upon its 60ft high motte overlooking the town, as well as its inner and outer baileys which are ideal areas for recreation and picnics. The inner bailey also contains the former railway station which now houses the Platform One Cafe serving hot drinks and food throughout the year. Away from the open green areas visitors can find the footpaths through the trees and along the banks of the River Stour and along the old railway line. Here can be viewed the variety of trees and plant life, and information boards show the various birds and water life which can be seen along the waters’ edge.

The Big Suffolk Christmas Singalong! with Crazy Little Sing Called Pub.

What to Expect

Imagine the energy of a gig, combined with the warmth of tons of voices singing together in big harmonies. Led by energetic host, Abi Moore and guitarist Ed Mayle, you’ll join friends, family, and total strangers to belt out a banging Christmas tune in massive, beautiful harmonies. It’s all the fun of a group singing event without any of the pressure.

We film and record the final performance, so you can see and hear how amazing you were!

Perfect For Everyone – No Singing Experience Needed!

Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just love to croon in the shower, this event is for you. We believe singing is for everyone, so there’s no sheet music, no auditions, and absolutely no experience required.
