Snape Maltings

Britten Pears Arts, Snape Maltings, Snape, IP17 1SP

Snape Maltings sits on the bank of the River Alde, surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just six miles from Aldeburgh.

This beautiful heritage destination, with its converted Victorian buildings, is home to independent shops, galleries, a restaurant and dog-friendly café, and several performance venues, including the Snape Maltings Concert Hall.

One of the best ways to explore the stunning natural landscape around Snape Maltings is on foot – from the circular loop through Snape Warren to the riverside walk to Iken Church.
