2020 | .JPG "Campsea Ashe Spring Fayre cancelled") Aldeburgh Cinema has closed for the duration so we won't get to see Emma this afternoon but the Woodbridge Riverside seems to be partially functioning. The Red Rooster festival near Thetford has been postponed to September and Life Arts have postponed April's Woodbridge festival to next year. All Snape Maltings music events cancelled until the end of April (we were lucky), the Phoenix Singers concert in Framlingham next month cancelled as is the Campsea Ashe Spring Fayre this Saturday and still only three virus cases in Suffolk.

The Red House is looking for volunteers and the garden alone would be an attraction. Email: volunteering@brittenpears.org Tel: 01728 451700

It's at the Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall the Saturday after next. A fearsome but funny gothic tale of dynasty, death, revenge and hope. Lovely moral. - Michael Rosen

We've been told that Aldeburgh folk would dress up for the cinema and be greeted in the foyer by the manager wearing evening dress, a floral buttonhole and smoking a cigar ... these days celebrities don't feel the need for a tie:)
