Now in their 56th year raising funds for St Mary’s Church and other local charities, ‘The Teas’ are an unmissable fixture of the summer calendar for locals and visitors alike. “The best tea for miles around” costs just £10 per adult, (12 years and under £5, 2 years and under free). There’s also the famous bric-a-brac marquee, plant stall – and even free parking. Please note that this is a cash only event.

This years mission will run from Sunday 3rd – Friday 8th August. We will be on the beach every day for our Beach Special which includes Crafts, face-painting, hair-braiding, family fun and a chance to chat with the team from 2:30-3:30pm.

We are also running an Adult Bible Study and Toddler morning each day, both at the URC church from 10:30 -12pm at the URC

There will be a Teen Night down at our beach hut on Tuesday 5th August 7-9pm where there will be a chance to taste some delicious, fruity mocktails and a Ladies’ Night also on the 5th from 7:30pm at the Boating Lake Café for chat and crafts.

 All our events are free and everyone is welcome to join us. The team will be joining the family services at St. Ed’s and the URC on Sun 4th Aug.

Acclaimed for its clarity of tone and refined interpretation of Renaissance polyphony, Luceat returns to Holy Trinity Blythburgh as part of a special summer tour marking the anniversary year of two choral titans: Orlando Gibbons (1583–1625) and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525–1594).
