Website MapMust-see Aldeburgh Museum reveals the inside Aldeburgh’s iconic Grade I listed, 16th century Moot Hall and so much more! Enjoy two floors of family-friendly interactive displays, models, maps and artefacts sharing the rich history and fascinating stories of town and surrounding area.
Discover the whole Aldeburgh story through displays and fascinating artefacts – how the town went from thriving fishing and shipbuilding centre to a fashionable seaside resort and artists’ retreat. The Tudor building (and its Victorian embellishments!) is extremely interesting in its own right.
Centuries after the Moot Hall was constructed as a civic meeting place here – a location then in the middle of thriving Aldeburgh town and in the centre the bustling marketplace – the building is still used for local governance. The upper room is now both council chamber and museum display room.
- Small charge for admission (incl. 12 months unlimited visits – special events excepted).
- Family tickets available
- Family activity events during school holidays and half term breaks.
