Coach Trip – Tuesday 7th July 2026

Dear Probus/ U3A Members,

Good Day all. I am re-arranging our previously postponed Coach Trip to Sutton Hoo and Woodbridge for 7th July 2026, which I’m hoping you will all want to take part in, friends of members are also welcome. The trip will start off with a visit to Sutton Hoo. This is the awe-inspiring Anglo-Saxon royal burial site, home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, on which the film “The Dig” was based. There is an exhibition showcasing the amazing finds, an open-air site with amazing views around the dig-site, a cafe and a shop. After about 2 hours there we will move on to Woodbridge, a historic Suffolk market town on the river Deben. There is a Museum, a working tide Mill and many fine pubs and restaurants to visit. The coach will pick up from the Burnham Clock Tower at 0900 and at 0910 at the bus stop opposite the Clockwork Hotel on the corner of Foundry Lane. The trip cost is £17 per person (based on approx. 50 persons), if you are already a National Trust Member. If you don’t have a National Trust membership card (must be produced on site) there will be an additional charge of £17.10 per person, group rate entry to Sutton Hoo, but this must be paid at the time of booking to get the group rate. I will be sending out a booking form shortly. Please do not delay your booking. We have to confirm and pay the coach one month in advance. Failure to get enough bookings by the confirmation date was why we had to cancel last time. 

Best Regards Tom Keeper (Probus Visits Secretary)
