A perfect destination for culturally-engaged and architecturally-interested visitors.

Coach trips are a popular way to experience Snape Maltings, often for the first time. Let us guide you through the visit with a 45-minute guided tour, access to see our world-renowned Concert Hall as well as a self-guided tour of art exhibitions.

Ever since the Concert Hall opened in 1967 artists have exhibited and installed work throughout the site, notably pieces by Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Tracey Emin, Gary Hume, Sarah Lucas and Ryan Gander.

Exhibitions and sculptures vary, so please enquire as to what will be on show during the visit. Visits will be created to suit your budget and your tour’s interests.

You’re also free to enjoy the unique setting at your own pace – browse independent shops, explore walks, and take in the tranquility of the reedbeds and surrounding nature.
