Heritage Open Day Tour: Architecture
Explore the architectural heritage of Snape Maltings in a free 45-Minute guided tour.
Discover the remarkable transformation of Snape Maltings – a historic complex of Victorian industrial buildings dating back to 1846 – into a world-renowned concert hall, arts centre, and visitor destination.
The 45-minute guided tour delves into the rich history of this destination, from the vision of Victorian entrepreneur Newson Garrett in 1841, to the artistic legacy of composer Benjamin Britten in 1967, and the ongoing work of the pioneering arts charity that stewards the site today.
Along the way, you’ll uncover fascinating stories embedded in the architecture, and get a rare glimpse at often-overlooked details that reveal the ingenuity and evolution of this unique place.
