Bury Suffolk has undergone a huge rejuvenation period in past years and this can be seen most beautifully in the newly restored Regency Theatre Royal.
Now that the Theatre is fully restored to its original 1819 glory, do check out what's on for a unique theatrical and heritage experience.
You can take a guided tour of the Theatre or take a more leisurely look during one of our regular Open Doors sessions.
