Originally a threshing barn with Tudor origins, the Barn provides a spectacular double height space with surrounding grounds and gardens perfect for a variety of events, gatherings and meetings.
For art events, workshops and exhibitions: the light-filled principal space is ideal for art shows and exhibitions, enabling artists to showcase their work at its best, and viewers to have the time and space to absorb, enjoy and appreciate. A highlight of the 2025 programme is the career retrospective in June for the work of internationally renowned photographer Amedeo Castellani, with his portfolio starting at the heart of Cinecittà, the Italian film studios famous for producing Ben Hur and Cleopatra in the 1950s and ‘60s, and moving through London and Paris to his most recent collection of Suffolk based artists and artisans.
For business and corporates: the Event Space lends itself to a broad spectrum of courses and workshops, meetings and awaydays. The format is flexible, and seating can be arranged to suit your requirements whether lecture or theatre style, or for roundtable discussions.
For theatre and screen: it provides performance, rehearsal and practice space for theatre and musical groups and has superb acoustics.
For film and TV location work: the Barn in conjunction with the Tudor farmhouse set in 10 acres of private gardens and grounds delivers a beautiful and versatile setting, with easy road access from the A12, A14 and M11, and major rail links
