The 10 Best Things to do in Sudbury, England
Sudbury is a historic market town in Suffolk, one of the largest counties of England in East Anglia. Sudbury itself is worth exploring on foot, a small family friendly town with a shopping area (mostly full of chain shops but with a few great local shops), and a few good bars and restaurants. Fans of art history will be pleased to discover the house of Thomas Gainsborough on the appropriately named Gainsborough Street at the bottom of Market Hill, and book lovers may be amused by the plaque at St Peter's Church which acknowledges the fact that the town was referenced in Dodie Smith's classic 101 Dalmations.

I am fortunate to walk the meadows regularly and they are lovely - although in the winter they are likely to be living up to their name and will be flooded! The wild flowers are beautiful and the wildlife diverse - kingfishers, swans, cormarants...

9. Gainsborough's House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 255 reviews
TEMPORARILY CLOSED - Gainsborough’s House explores the life and art of Thomas Gainsborough. One of the greatest artists of his age, he is renowned throughout the world for his portrait and landscape paintings. The house, ‘a most excellent Brickt Mansion,’ was bought by John Gainsborough, the artist’s father, in May 1722. Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88) was born in Sudbury and was baptized there at the Independent Meeting-House in Friars Street on 14 May 1727. He lived here until around 1740 when, as a young teenager, he was sent to London to pursue a career as an artist. He returned to Sudbury in the spring of 1749 until 1752 when he painted his celebrated Mr and Mrs Andrews. He never lost the influence of his native town and county. ‘Nature was his teacher, and the woods of Suffolk his academy,’ noted an obituary after his death in 1788.

Fortunately a previously unsatisfactory experience here has been superseded by much more pleasant visits - two this year, in fact, for different exhibitions. This is a very agreeable place to enjoy some quality art in an atmospheric building - there's also a lovely garden, and the staff are good. The house is closing for a major refurb in a month's time, so don't be caught out... it's to be hoped that this doesn't negatively impact on the 'atmospheric building'.
