Rated as one of the UK's 10 most homey towns - and one of the country's most important architecturally - Hadleigh is a delight for shopping with high street stores taking pride in offering old fashioned service. Parking is free so you can browse at no cost. Spend time visiting the Guildhall and Deanery tower alongside Hadleigh's fine church and drop in at one of the cafe's, pubs or restaurants.

You'll find a day's too short to explore all this market town has to offer, from walks along the former railway, or feeding the ducks on the riverside stroll, to indulging yourself in the famous chocolate shop or entering the Alladins cave, also known as Partridges. With top class food shops, eclectic gift stores and all the essentials, Hadleigh will cater for all you need in the setting of an historic market town once an important centre in the wood trade.

There's also a wealth of culture, from recitals in the church, to concerts at the Old School House and in the delightful Tudor hall at Priory Hall. The next event at Priory Hall is on April 12th when Baroque musicians Eclipse present Spanish Spice, with guest flamenco dancer. Details from 01206 231195.
