Heritage Open Days at The Red House
Britten Pears Arts, The Red House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, IP15 5PZ
7th - 15th September
The Red House opens its doors again for Heritage Open Days, England's largest festival of history and culture.
Britten and Pears moved to The Red House in November 1957. Its peaceful setting allowed Britten to work without distraction, and contributed to his and Pears’ decision to stay there for the rest of their lives.
The house itself is a Grade II 17th-century farmhouse. The interior provides an accurate picture of their life together – telling not only their story but also those of the family, friends and famous guests who stayed or visited there.
