Sudbury Arts Centre is a welcoming and progressive cultural and community venue housed within the stunning medieval Grade I listed redundant church of St Peter in the heart of Sudbury, Suffolk.
We are an inclusive and diverse venue that is a safe and friendly place for people from all walks of life to experience more arts and heritage through enriching cultural and social experiences.
With a growing programme of events, creative projects and activities, we pride ourselves on being accessible and a place for all, whether attending events, popping in for a coffee and a chat, learning new skills as a much-valued volunteer, or simply soaking up the atmosphere – we are here.

The regeneration programme explores opportunities to create something new within one of the buildings in our beautiful collection, making them relevant so they can sustain themselves and fulfil a new role in the community’s lives. Sudbury Arts Centre is an excellent example of this.
