Public Children’s University venues in Suffolk

We work closely with Suffolk Children’s University, which has been set up a good deal longer than Norfolk Children’s University They run their CU in a different way to Norfolk, they do have a lot of venues listed on their website ( www.suffolk.gov.uk/scu ) that can potentially be accessed by Norfolk children.. With their permission I am now listing the venues that may be of most interest to Norfolk children. Find full contact details for all these via Suffolk CU’s website.

Important Note: Suffolk Venues do currently hold stickers or stamps for CU passports, though it is expected that Suffolk CU will integrate the Passport system soon. We suggest therefore that at this stage children at Norfolk Children’s University schools may be given NCU stickers if the school is happy that Suffolk visits have been made to one of these venues.

Libraries – Beccles, Brandon, Felixstowe, Framlingham, Hadleigh, Haverhill, Newmarket, Southwold and the County Library at Ipswich.

Arts – Dance East, Kimberley Ann Theatre School (Mildenhall), Pakefield Academy for perfoming arts, StageCoach Ipswich, The Dance Studio (Bungay), Theatre Royal – various clubs/activities (Bury St Edmunds), New Wolsey Theatre (Ipswich), Eye Arts Club.

Museums – Museum of East Anglian Life (Stowmarket), Moyse Hall Museum (Bury St Edmunds)

Sports – High Lodge Shooting School (Nr Thetford), Kuk Sool Won (Botesdale), Mid Anglia School of Taekwon Do, Oulton Broad Water Sports Centre, Pakefield Riding School, Phoenix Karate Schools (Gt Yarmouth & Lowestoft), T& J Soccer (Brandon)
