Bury St Edmunds on Market Day, Suffolk

Bury St. Edmunds is one of Britain’s best loved market towns. With plenty to explore, whether you’re passionate about history or art, shopping or food, there is something for everyone. Be as active or relaxed as you please, either taking in the fresh Suffolk air or savouring a coffee in one of the town’s many cafés as you watch the world go by.

Here’s our recommendation of what to see and do whilst visiting on market day...

Abbey Gardens & Ruins - offer a peaceful escape filled with colourful flowerbeds, sculptures, and views of the impressive Abbey of St Edmund ruins.

Once one of the most powerful monasteries in medieval England, the remains of the Abbey are steeped in history and make a beautiful backdrop for a leisurely walk or a quiet moment of reflection.
Don’t miss St Edmundsbury Cathedral nearby — its stunning architecture and tower views are well worth exploring.

Independent Shops, Cafes & The Apex - take a stroll through Abbeygate Street and Whiting Street, where you’ll find a mix of independent boutiques, local delicatessens, and charming tea rooms.

If time allows, visit The Apex, the town’s modern arts and entertainment venue, often hosting live music, exhibitions, and community events.
Whether you’re browsing, relaxing over lunch, or soaking up the atmosphere, Bury St Edmunds offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and local charm.
