Use the Arts Centre programme to choose a film, live performance or family event. The historic Town Hall setting makes the building part of the experience as well as the place where it happens.

Check the event listing and visitor information before booking, especially for access, age guidance and the right entrance or arrival arrangements.

Spend time in East Town Park

East Town Park offers woodland, meadow and a wildlife pond, with paths that connect into the wider local walking network. There is an easy-access trail described on the official park page.

Use the map to choose a comfortable loop or plan a longer route separately. A path that continues beyond the park may need more time and different footwear than a short park visit.

Combine an activity with a local food stop

A cafe, pub or restaurant stop can turn a performance or park walk into a fuller visit. Browse the local businesses first and use their own websites for current opening and booking details.

The directory includes businesses that serve the wider district as well as those based in town. Check the listing address when you are looking for somewhere within walking distance.

Explore the border villages

A visit to Kedington, Linton or Steeple Bumpstead offers another starting point in the area. Pick a business, group or venue you want to visit and plan the day around that place.

The county border is close here, and bus routes or council services do not necessarily follow the directory coverage. Check the precise address and return journey before setting out.

Plan the day around the places you choose

Opening times, event programmes and access arrangements can change. The official links above take you to the people who manage each place; check them before making a special trip.

Pick a manageable route, leave room for a local shop or meal, and plan the return journey as well as the outward one.
