Holmes has booked Watson a two week stay at a health spa, high in the Sproughton Mountains, near Ipswich. Though Watson insists he doesn’t require steam baths and carrot soup, Holmes persuades him to “take the cure” and return to his duties well rested and refreshed. But something is amiss at Queasy Pines Sanatorium. Having no contact with the outside world except phone, post, telegram and carrier pigeon, Watson must wait for Holmes’ visit to tell him of the mysterious disappearances at Queasy Pines and its strange one legged Superintendent, Professor Eintrouser.

Created by the team well known for their many Christmas shows both for Common Ground & Eastern Angles, don’t miss this classic comedy mystery peppered with Common Ground’s trademark sparkling wit, ingenious staging and hilarious songs.

Join us for a two-part Burns Night celebration that begins with a traditional Scottish supper at The Suffolk and ends with live music and ceilidh dancing at Jubilee Hall, just a short walk away.

After dinner, we’ll be led through Aldeburgh by a piper, torchlight-style, as the sound of the bagpipes fills the high street. Then, at Jubilee Hall, the band will strike up and the dancing begins – a proper ceilidh from Fairgreen Ceilidh Band with reels, jigs, and live Scottish folk music to carry the night away.

Love affairs. Life and death. Fortunes made and lost.

Join us for a captivating talk with National Trust volunteer and researcher Richard Symes, who has uncovered the extraordinary story of Dunwich Heath, a place where history, drama, and nature collide.

Over the last 300 years this seemingly peaceful landscape has been dug up, cut down, shot over and burnt. From smugglers hiding contraband along the coast, to shipwrecks that changed lives; from coastguards risking it all in treacherous seas, to artists finding inspiration in the wild beauty of the heath, Dunwich has seen it all.

Its history doesn’t stop there. Submarines once prowled its waters. The heath was turned into a battlefield with tanks and big guns, echoing with the threat of invasion during wartime. And yet, out of this turbulent past, it has been transformed into the nature reserve we know today, a place of sanctuary and survival.

Come along and immerse yourself in the remarkable story of a landscape that has shaped lives and witnessed history in ways you would never expect.

The event ends at approximately 12 noon.
