We are delighted to be attending the Suffolk Show this year and welcome you to join us on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May at stand 601.
This year visitors to the marquee will enjoy a warm welcome with complimentary tea, coffee and cakes while you will be entertained with, for example, a puppet show and Messy Church crafts for children, free face painting and children's games.
All refreshment donations at the Church marquee will be given to Farming Community Network a voluntary organisation and charity that supports farmers and families within the farming community.
Our marquee is number 601 and on Flowershow Avenue and we look forward to seeing you there!
Together we Explore at the Suffolk Show - Free Family Treasure Trail
This year at the Suffolk Show, with thanks to the Suffolk Agricultural Association, we are partnering with eight other exhibitors to launch the first Suffolk Show Family Treasure Trail.
The trail will start and finish at our marquee (stand 601) and the trail features questions to be answered at the following stands: Army Air Corps, Dennington Hall Farms, Ipswich Town Football Club, Radio Suffolk, Rural Coffee Caravan, Suffolk Horse Society, Suffolk New College and VE 80. If you find out all the answers you will receive a small prize and be entered into a draw to win a private Tower tour for up to six people at St Edmundsbury Cathedral and a £60 voucher for Pilgrims’ Kitchen.
Tim Holder, Diocesan Director of Engagement said "The aim of the trail is to encourage engagement across the whole Suffolk Show site. It has a real family feel and a focus on our love of Suffolk and learning more about Suffolk together. We are delighted that the trail is free of charge and grateful for our partners who have supported us to achieve this including Hudson Signs who printed the signs. I am thrilled that so many organisations have agreed to partner with us and support the trail and I hope that I will see you on the trail next week at the show."
Want a bigger adventure?
The free trail is linked to the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust who run Ride and Stride every year. In September you can join an even bigger adventure and walk or ride a bike around our churches and sponsor your progress and raise funds for your church.
Tim continued. "If you enjoy the family trail at the Suffolk Show we are encouraging people to take up the bigger adventure to take part in Ride and Stride to raise funds for our churches. Last year Ride and Stride raised £200,000 and your donations helped to repair, restore and improve beautiful Suffolk churches, church halls and meeting rooms of all denominations."
