Arts & culture in the East of England
From major galleries and museums to small studios in surprising places, East Anglia is full of culture you can dip into for an hour or build a day around. Explore nationally significant collections, discover independent spaces championing new talent and enjoy live performances in settings that range from historic theatres to outdoor stages.
There are plenty of ways to make it a shared day out too, with workshops, festivals, trails and hands-on activities that welcome curious beginners as much as committed art lovers.
