Aldeburgh Festival Extra!

13 – 29 June 2025

We are excited to present an eclectic programme of artistic performances to complement the Aldeburgh Festival this June. We're bringing back The Pumphouse venue loved by many of our audiences, and also embracing a range of other venues in East Suffolk for a kaleidoscope of activity.

With Festival Extra! we invite the whole community – locals and visitors alike – to enjoy a different take on the Aldeburgh Festival across its 17 days.
