A Weekend in Lavenham and Suffolk
Details
Date: 12th - 14th June 2026
Base Location: Lavenham, Suffolk
Price: £40
Overview: A weekend of walking and community in June, based in the famous Suffolk village of Lavenham, pictured above.
With over 300 listed buildings, Lavenham is the best-preserved Medieval town in England.
Lavenham and the surrounding villages of Long Melford, Clare and Cavendish are picture postcard locations made famous by the 80s TV show, ‘Lovejoy’, aided by the nearby towns of Sudbury and Bury St. Edmunds.
Lavenham itself, with its timber-framed buildings and painted homes was the real life inspiration for J.K. Rowling’s fictional village, Godric’s Hollow, in the Harry Potter book and film series.
You’ll need to arrange your own accommodation for the Friday and Saturday nights.
