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.

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.
