The Pumphouse

We are delighted to celebrate the return of the much-loved Pumphouse venue this June.

Running across the two weeks of the Aldeburgh Festival, it’s a place to enjoy local live music, hang out with friends, and soak up the charming Pumphouse in its riverside setting.

Each Friday and Saturday night there are specially curated events including a ceilidh, fresh new music, and a silent disco. Come for the whole evening and combine upbeat music with delicious food and drink from The Suffolk’s Horsebox.

There are also family events every Saturday afternoon: take a magical musical journey with the Tiny Magic Orchestra, enjoy puppetry and storytelling with Puffling Percy, join in with Family Folk Singing, or rock up for an Open Mic session with young music-makers as part of the Big Day Out.
