Bringing back The Pumphouse venue loved by many of our audiences as well as embracing a range of venues in Aldeburgh – plus the occasional surprise further afield – the Festival Extra! programme will feature late-night hair-down music, pop-up bars, unexpected treats for foodies, artists in unfamiliar places, and more.

With it we invite the whole community - locals and visitors alike – to enjoy a different take on the Aldeburgh Festival, staged by the artists and creatives who make up the Festival in partnership with the whole town.

Festival Extra! takes place across the whole Festival period – the schedule will be announced in the spring. It culminates in the Big Day Out on Saturday 28 June – a whole day in Aldeburgh of music and words, pop-ups, a Come & Play event, new work, discoveries, fine food and drink, and some surprises. We can't wait to see you there.

All the details will be launched in the spring: make sure you join the mailing list to be the first to find out.

General booking opens Saturday 1 February at 10am.
