The Suffolk Coast Ltd Destination Management Organisation (DMO) is a company limited by guarantee, formed in 2012, with the purpose of promoting the Suffolk Coast as a visitor destination. Prior to this, tourism promotion used to be predominantly funded by government but, sweeping changes in public finances have required an alternative approach. Therefore, we are uniting together to give The Suffolk Coast the best opportunity to be at the forefront of visitors’ minds when selecting a holiday destination.

THINGS TO DO IN ALDEBURGH
1. The High Street offers delightful opportunities for browsing.
Clothes boutiques, antiques and arts, an independent book shop and cinema plus a huge variety of culinary temptation, from the rightly-renowned fish and chips, to fine bistro dining, pizzas and, of course, seaside ice cream!
2. Follow in Benjamin Britten’s footsteps and visit The Red House.
Suffolk’s iconic composer and his partner once lived and worked here. The Red House is now the home of the Britten-Pears Foundation, where you can discover where the musical magic took place. The Studio where Britten composed is open to visitors all year-round, as is the Gallery, the historic Library and the Gardens. The House itself is only open during the summer months.
3. Pay a visit to Aldeburgh’s historic Martello Tower.
Take in Antony Gormley's 'Pixelated Man' sculpture keeping watch out to sea at the famous Martello Tower. These squat, 19th Century fortifications formed a defensive line along our coast to keep the invading Napoleonic armies at bay. Thankfully they never had to be put to the test.
4. Take in a film at the Aldeburgh Cinema.
The cinema has been screening films continuously since 1919 when the auditorium was built onto the back of a 19th Century High Street store. Never a ‘posh picture palace’ the cinema has a glorious atmosphere - it breathes history - “A fantastic arthouse cinema!” (The Times 11 March 2015) . The auditorium retains a number of original features, including a number of beautiful art deco lights.
