Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears' home in Aldeburgh offers a charming snapshot into the couple's life. Lovingly preserved, the house and gardens are open for all to explore.

The Red House is currently open for general admission on Thursdays – Sundays. Admission includes entry to the house, library, composition studio, exhibitions & garden. On Thursdays and Fridays, there is also the option to visit the Archive. We recommend you allocate 1-2hrs to go around the site.
