Our Events

We have lots of exciting events on throughout the year from Quiz Nights and Music Evenings to Food Markets and Craft Workshops. Find out what events are coming up here.

 

fun for the kids

Our Free to use bouncy pillow is always a hit with the children, under 12’s only and with adult supervision, they can enjoy a bounce on the inflatable pillow. Not only that, but we have plenty of space to run around, kick a football or just enjoy the views in our paddock areas.

We have child friendly options for food and drink in the Food Hall, Café and Restaurant, and our partners run some fantastic events and clubs for kids too.

Ilia’s Kitchen run children’s and teenager cookery workshops during the school holidays.

FieldFit offer obstacle course classes for children and often have pay and play days too.

Orwell Fitness have launched their ‘Crossfit Kids’ programme, fitness classes for children.

dining

Being the Suffolk Food Hall we had to talk about food options:

The Food Hall has a full carcass butchery, artisan scratch bakery and fresh delicatessen counter, add on top of that a greengrocer, grocery and alcohol department too. Our home and garden section offer gifts for both home and outside, plus our hamper department provide ready-made hampers or a bespoke creation service.

In terms of dining in the Food Hall, we have a Café open seven-days-a-week, providing light bites, toasties, sweet treats and all your favourite hot drinks, with seating both inside and a new covered area outside to take in the views of the Orwell Estuary.

The Restaurant @ Suffolk Food Hall is based in our Cook House building, a more substantial dining experience than that of the Café, The Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and pre-booked afternoon tea, also offering a selection of sandwiches and platters. The view is enhanced by our huge panoramic windows and at the end of January will be going through a complete refurbishment. 

Our farm shop is proud to put on a variety of events throughout the year. From browsing for a Sunday roast or fresh produce during our festive shopping event to partying with Santa at our farm-to-table restaurant, we have it all. No matter what your needs for the holiday season are, trust our greengrocer and butcher shop to have everything you need to prepare a delicious meal for you and your family.
