May is here, the sun is shining and Spring is edging closer towards Summer. The meadows are buzzing with wildlife, the weather is getting warmer, even lighter nights are just around the corner and Sudbury is looking blooming lovely!
HIGHLIGHTS
Sudbury Plant & Flower Fair - 4th April
Guided Tour: Step In To the Sudbury Story - 16th May
Love Your Local Market - From 16th May
If this isn't the perfect time of year for walking then we don't know what is - head out to the meadows to see the cattle, who are now back grazing (as they have done for hundreds of years), take in the scenery and stop for a spot of lunch at The Mill Hotel.
Alternatively, pop into the Tourist Information Centre for more information and maps of local walks and trails.

If you prefer spending the sunnier days in the comfort of your own garden, don't forget to pop along to Sudbury's annual Plant and Flower Fair on the early Bank Holiday Monday, 4th May, on Market Hill between 9am-3pm, to get all you need for a glorious summer sanctuary.
