Come and enjoy an afternoon of outdoor performances showcasing local talent from across Suffolk.

The whole family is welcome to soak up live music in the fresh air in the beautiful setting of Snape Maltings. After successful appearances in Aldeburgh, Framlingham, and Saxmundham, the Bandstand will be on the Henry Moore Lawn for an afternoon of local performances of many kinds.

Young artists are at the heart of this afternoon of joyful music-making. The schedule will be co-created by Britten Pears Arts and young creatives, while the line-up of solo artists and bands will be drawn from young and emerging local talent.

Stay for the whole time or dip in and out. And while you’re here for the music, be sure to enjoy the special catering on offer, well-stocked shops, stunning landscape, and many other aspects of this unique location.

The full afternoon’s schedule will be published in the summer.
