Snape Maltings

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
The former 19th-century maltings complex at nearby Snape has been turned into one of the country’s leading music venues and a smart shopping outlet. Here you can buy upmarket goods, and take a break in the tea room or the pub. The hall itself is housed in a converted red-brick warehouse and hosts a regular programme of classical, jazz and folk concerts, featuring the world’s finest musicians. Here, too, the famous Aldeburgh Music Festival, founded by Britten and Pears in 1948, takes place every June. The complex stands amid reeds and marshes on the outskirts of Aldeburgh.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men.
