Sitting pretty along the coast and moving a little way in land, Suffolk is home to some wonderful towns and villages perfect for a weekend away, day trip or even a summer staycation
Aldeburgh
Arguably one of Suffolk s most popular coastal towns, Aldeburgh s stunning blue flag beaches make it a behemoth when it comes to attracting tourists. Its historical ties to Benjamin Britten, the pretty pastel hued holiday homes and the fresh fish on sale at the town s fisherman s huts make it a perfect destination for a weekend break.
Planet Laser, Bury St Edmunds – One of the UK’s premier indoor laser tag arenas, spanning 6,000sqft across three levels, with cool lighting and sets, and an awesome soundtrack. There’s a café on site, plus mini bowling and an arcade. One game is £7 or it’s £12 for two sessions. There are special offers during the school holidays and after school. For example, a two-hour pre-booked session over the summer half term is £12 per person (under 16s).
High Lodge, Thetford Forest – Hire bikes. Take a picnic. Follow one of the cycling or running trails. See how agile you are in the adventure play area. You can even book axe throwing here! Segway trails are something the whole family can get involved in, priced at £35 per person for an hour. Book via Go Ape. Parking charges apply and range from one hour to £12.50 for a whole day.
