National Trust - Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo is a hauntingly beautiful 255 acre estate, with far-reaching views over the River Deben, it is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. With its Royal Burial Ground, 17-metre viewing tower, Mrs Pretty’s Tranmer House and the High Hall it’s an incredible place to discover and learn all about the history of the ship burial of an Anglo-Saxon king and his treasured possessions. Pop by our stand to enjoy some sand tray archaeology, take a look at our replicas, and explore the world of Anglo-Saxon textile making.

Rendlesham Revealed Community Archaeology Project

Since 2008, Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service have been investigating Rendlesham to reveal its hidden Anglo-Saxon archaeology. Visit the team at the Rendlesham Show to see the display and some of the excavated objects which are over 1,400 years old.

Have you recently found any archaeological objects? Bring them along and our finds recording team can help to identify them.

The Sutton Hoo Society

The Sutton Hoo Society was formed to support the work of the Sutton Hoo research project (Director Professor Martin Carver, University of York). An archaeological excavation and research programme was undertaken between 1983 and 1992. Part of the Society’s early role was to guide visitors round the excavation.

Today the Sutton Hoo Society trains the Guides, who offer burial site tours and Exhibition Hall talks. We work alongside the National Trust to remote interest in this unique place, and to tell the stories of Anglo-Saxon archaeology and history here.

We have also funded relevant archaeological projects: supported research and academic studies, and helped the National Trust to acquire quality replicas of the treasure from the 1939 dig.

Harry Isaac Presley 12:15 - 13:00

On the day that Eric Maidment left the village he had enjoyed so much for 33 years, a marvellous thing happened to Harry Isaac Presley. Overnight, he became Little Bealings' 8th most popular Elvis Tribute Artist. Since 2005, Harry has been entertaining literally tens of people around Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and once in Cornwall. The Office of National Statistics predict that by 2030, one in four people will be an Elvis Tribute Artist. This remains the only reason he keeps the members of his occasional band at just seven. Harry remains true to some of the King's classic behaviour. He regularly forgets words, can't play guitar brilliantly and finishes EVERY song with a fictitious martial art move. Thank you very much.

Grace Nash 13:30 - 14:00

Hey, I’m Grace. I am currently doing my GCSEs at school and I really like singing. I sing choral music, musical theatre, pop music and I can’t wait to perform for you all.
