| The new spot in the Library |
The facility has been taken over by Sudbury Town Council and I think that its new situation is an improvement on its previous location behind the Town Hall.
When I visited the staff were busy trying to fit the office into a rather smaller space than they have enjoyed hitherto. I think that this will be compensated for by accessibility, not least for local people, who will pass the office regularly and should be made more aware of all the marvellous sights that are available to us within a short distance.
At Gainsborough's House we know that, apart from our Friends who tend to be local, most of our visitors come from some distance away. We would very much like to attract more local visitors, and, as I often point out, people do not have to pay to visit the shop or have a cup of tea or coffee in the lovely garden.
Our ongoing series of talks about local attractions has been going very well. The next one which is about Melford Hall and other, smaller properties of the National Trust, is at 11 a.m. on Tuesday 27th March. There are three further talks between now and early May. Tickets have sold well, but there are still a few places left, so if you are interested do visit the reception in Weavers Lane, where more information is available. Alternatively you can call the House on 01787 372958.
A ticket for each talk costs £6, and includes admission to the Museum on that day.
