Halesworth & Blyth Valley
The historic market town of Halesworth is a thriving centre for culture and the arts.
Halesworth is a charming market town with an interesting history linked to brewing, malting and agriculture due to its key location on the River Blyth and its rural surroundings. The town prides itself on a flourishing blend of the arts, locally produced food, wines and small independent shops.
Visitors looking for cultural delights will be impressed with the choice on offer. The New Cut, an exciting arts venue and vibrant café-bar offers a year-round programme of events, whilst the Halesworth Gallery at Steeple End is the oldest gallery in the town. Housed in fine 17th century former almshouses it provides a beautiful space in which to view contemporary paintings, sculpture, ceramics and textiles.
Housed in the original railway buildings, the Halesworth and District Museum tells the story of the earlier historic life of the town, with the Halesworth Town Trail providing the ideal opportunity to explore the town’s interesting past, including the 15th century Saxon Church.
The pedestrianised Thoroughfare provides an authentic market town shopping experience, centred around independent shops and hospitality, continuing through to the market place, where the weekly market blends the old with the new. The town’s Park and the largest single Millennium green in the country offer a chance to explore the surrounding countryside.
