With schools all coming to the end of term and summer weather being so sporadic, some Sudbury residents look further afield to enjoy their summer. But why not look a little bit closer to home to experience a fun summer for all. From enjoying the River Stour, having a drink at a local café or trying to escape an escape room, there are activities for all.
If the weather looks good, why not enjoy the River Stours new designated bathing water status and go for a dip? With weekly updates on their results of testing the waters, you can view online and decide for yourself.
Not feeling that brave just yet? There are still plenty of ways to enjoy the river. Sudbury Rowing Club will be holing their international regatta on the 3rd August for all to come and watch.
