Things to Do in Bury St Edmunds

When people refer to Bury St Edmunds as the ‘Jewel in the crown of Suffolk’ they can often simply be referring to the Abbey Gardens, a stunning assortment of spacious lawns and floral displays.

It’s a perfect place to bring the family to enjoy a picnic or simply to sit and watch the world go by.

For an exciting evening in the town pay a visit to Theatre Royal. Built in 1819, the theatre is a Grade 1 listed playhouse and the only surviving example of a Regency theatre in the country. Now full restored, the theatre showcases the best in the worlds of drama, music, dance and comedy.

Home to many great pubs and restaurants, for a taste of fine dining and French cuisine, try the Maison Bleue, a French restaurant located right in the centre of town.

It was recently named one of the ‘Top 10 Fine Dining Restaurants in UK’ by Trip Advisor and has previously been named winner of the East of England ‘Good Food Guide’ Restaurant of the Year on two separate occasions.
