🛍️ 3. Wander & Shop in Bury St Edmunds
A trip to Bury St Edmunds is a must. Think cobbled streets, independent shops, and a seriously Instagrammable cathedral. Browse The Traverse for high street faves, and pop into Larkbridge Antiques or Javelin for one-of-a-kind finds. Don’t forget to stop at Harriets Café Tearooms for an elegant afternoon tea moment.
🌊 4. Coastal Bliss in Aldeburgh
If your group loves long walks, sea air, and chic seaside vibes, Aldeburgh is calling your name. Stroll along the pebble beach, dip your toes in the sea, and grab fish & chips from the famous Aldeburgh Fish and Chip Shop. Boutique galleries and artisan shops line the high street—perfect for picking up something pretty to remember the trip.
🍷 5. Dinner & Drinks, Suffolk Style
When it’s time to glam up for the evening, Suffolk delivers:
- The Angel Hotel (Bury St Edmunds) – Stylish dining in a historic setting
- Salt (Ipswich) – Trendy and perfect for cocktails
- The Lighthouse (Aldeburgh) – A cosy but classy spot for locally sourced delights
Or stay in, order a grazing board, pour the prosecco, and enjoy a pampered night in together—PJs encouraged.
🛏️ 6. Slow Mornings & Spa Vibes (Round Two?)
Wrap up the weekend with a slow morning and maybe even a second round of treatments (yes, we do back-to-back pamper sessions for the ultimate chill). Sip your coffee, soak in the glow, and get ready to head home feeling refreshed, reconnected, and radiant.
