Oh, and if you need some ideas, the brilliant (aka Issy Joslin) has written a book which is jam packed with tips and recommendations. It’s available to buy on our website or in all good local bookshops. It’s called ‘237 Ideas for Stuff to Do and Places to Go in Suffolk with Kids’. Go get it (link in bio).

Suffolk. Home of haunted Wellingtons, a ferry that’s just a rowing boat, and the only museum in Britain where you can literally book an appointment to see a severed head.

Yep, this county is weird, wonderful, and way more fun than your toddler’s 32nd soft play party.

Want to know where to find the dragon-hunting forests, Viking re-enactments, edible museums, and the exact hill where your kids can roll until they’re dizzy?

We wrote the book. Literally.

237 days out, zero eye-rolls.

Happy National Tea Day!

Parents – if you’re chasing little legs around Suffolk today, make sure you find a moment to sit down with a proper brew.

Try at Felixstowe – where you can sip your tea while the kids watch giant ships roll into one of Europe’s busiest ports. It’s the rare combo of peaceful tea-drinking and thrilling entertainment for the little ones .

Or visit in Constable Country – the little ones can roam riverside paths and spot wildlife while you enjoy a cuppa in the tearoom of one of Suffolk’s most picturesque spots .

From coastlines to cafés, Suffolk has plenty of places where tea and toddlers can happily coexist.

Sunshine + no traffic = the perfect family ride.

This weekend, ditch the roads and ride the old Sudbury to Melford railway line. It’s flat, peaceful and traffic-free - ideal for little legs still mastering two wheels.

Glide past grazing cows, cross little bridges, and stop for a riverside picnic. Bonus? The route ends near a family-friendly taproom with outdoor games and ice-cold local brews.

Sun’s out. Helmets on.
