Aldeburgh Festival Social

Monday 15 June 2026, 6pm – 9pm
The Suffolk, Aldeburgh

In this recently revived Aldeburgh Festival tradition, audiences, artists and staff alike are invited to come together at The Suffolk’s rooftop bar to have a drink, mingle and celebrate our Festival community.

No need to book – just turn up. If it rains, the event will be in The Suffolk’s bar lounge instead. A cash bar will be available.
