Abbeygate Cinema

Reviewed By macneillfamily - Lavenham, United Kingdom

Great new wide premier screen. I have also been twice since reopening and the safety measures are good. unfortunately the cinema was virtually empty an a Sunday 1540 showing to watch the film Tenet. Please go and support this excellent asset for Bury which is really struggling to survive. Tickets are significantly cheaper than other larger cinema in Bury, and the new wide screen and sound system is superb as are the seats.

Had an amazing visit to the Christmas Ice Bar where Chef John hosted us for nearly 3 hours (we talked a lot and asked lots of questions!) He took the time to explain each dish, where he had sourced the ingredients and how best to cook/ serve it. The atmosphere was informal but still felt like a real occasion. The food was delicious - lots of flavours in each small plate that left you satisfied but not stuffed. Nothing was too much trouble and all dietary requirements were overcome with inventiveness. Whilst it was our first time, the majority of the diners were repeat guests. No wonder these events are sold out months in advance. We’ll be back. Go - you won’t regret it!!

I booked the gin experience as a surprise birthday treat for my husband - and got to share in the fun!! Excellent way to spend the afternoon. Our thanks to Ryan, gin master, who made the session really good fun whilst being information and educating us on the art of all things gin!!

The Troston Bull

The Troston Bull is an historic public house in the small village of Troston, just outside historic Bury St Edmunds. The old farm building was turned into pub with its own brewery in 1801. Following a prolonged closure (>5yrs) it’s new owners re-opened it July 2017. It serves a great selection of real ales and craft beers. You're guaranteed a warm welcome.

Our first pub visit since they re-opened post lockdown and was worth the wait! Lovely garden with a big canopy set up. Tables nicely spaced out. Really friendly staff/owners, and food was delicious. Great selection of drinks too. Will definitely come again if we’re ever passing through the area.

Escape Rooms Suffolk

Real life escape rooms. Are you up to the challenge? You and your friends are locked in a room, you will have to work together to solve puzzles and clues before the clock runs out. Currently running Death Row and The Vault. Death Row - It’s 1960 in Texas. You’ve been wrongly convicted for murder and you’re on death row. Legend has it, a previous prisoner escaped and has left you clues. You have 1 hour before your time is up, don’t get caught or let the time run out. The Vault - You and your accomplices are professional thieves and steal to order. MI6 have tasked you to steal five internationally prized artefacts. Rumour has it these have been stolen from around the world by a infamous high ranking Mafia boss Andreas Fault for his private collection. MI6 have got you into the service tunnel adjacent to his study but the rest is up to you. Good luck!

First visit to Escape Rooms Suffolk today and we were not disappointed! We escaped the Dolls House which was so cleverly thought out and had such a variety of different things to figure out - we had a great time and will definitely be coming back to try The Vault soon!

Ickworth

An Italianate Palace in the heart of an ancient deer park. Formal gardens, pleasure grounds, rolling Suffolk landscape and woodlands invite gentle strolls or long walks, runs, bike rides and picnics. The Italianate Garden mirrors the architecture of the house, whilst also encasing an idiosyncratic Victorian stumpery, contrasting light and shade. The Rotunda is home to one of the finest silver collections, family portraits by Gainsborough and Reynolds, works by Titian and Velázquez, and Neoclassical sculpture including Flaxman’s ‘Fury of Athamus’. Below stairs, the Servants’ Quarters recreate domestic service through the stories and memories of those who lived here. In 2019/2020, Ickworth is set to secure its future thanks to a major new conservation project. Ickworth is embarking on a multi-million pound major conservation project which will see us heading up to the roof. To find out more about the work visit the website and discover how Ickworth will be re-imagined during the works.

Didn't really know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised, very interesting house, with lots to see, rooms set out in their original form, lots of visual information and helpful guides, enjoyed a 4 mile circular walk, including visiting the church and the walled garden. Would highly recommend for a great day out, free to National Trust members.

St. Mary's Church

Spectacular grade 1 listed medieval church in the Church of England with lots to see and an extensive programme of worship services and community activities. You're always welcome. Admission is free. St Mary's is the civic church of Bury St Edmunds and is one of England's most historic as well as one of the biggest. The spectacular west window is the largest of any parish church in the country. The 15th Century hammerbeam angel-roof is internationally recognised. Visit the tomb of Mary Tudor (Queen of France and favourite sister of Henry VIII) at the east end and lots more besides. Our volunteer stewards will try to answer any of your questions. St Mary's remains a beautiful peaceful place to enjoy stillness and to pray.

I was more impressed with the church than the nearby cathedral. Literally awe inspiring, plenty to see, with some really excellent volunteers. Well worth the visit.
