Welcome to Alde

Aldeburgh is a small coastal town located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is situated on the North Sea coast and is known for its beautiful beaches, historic buildings, and cultural events. The town has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and it has been a popular destination for tourists for many years.

One of the most notable landmarks in Aldeburgh is the Moot Hall, which dates back to the 16th century. The building has served many purposes over the years, including as a courthouse, a prison, and a town hall. Today, it is a museum that showcases the history of the town and the surrounding area. Visitors can learn about the town's fishing industry, its role in the Napoleonic Wars, and its connection to famous composers such as Benjamin Britten.

Aldeburgh is also known for its cultural events, including the Aldeburgh Festival of Music and Arts. This annual event was founded by Benjamin Britten and his partner Peter Pears in 1948 and has since become one of the most important cultural events in the UK. The festival features performances by world-renowned musicians, as well as exhibitions, talks, and workshops. The town also hosts a number of other events throughout the year, including the Aldeburgh Carnival and the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival.
