About Sudbury on Show Founded by the late, great Andrew Phillips, OBE - Sudbury on Show is a biennial celebration of the many community organisations that make our town unique. Passionate local people, from all walks of life, generously donate their time to running a range of vital community organisations - from gardening groups, sports clubs, community cafes, keep fit classes, to local history & heritage associations. The last Sudbury on Show was held at Sudbury Arts Centre on Saturday 23rd March 2024. Read Sudbury on Show 2024 Press Release : "A special year for Sudbury on Show as event founder Andrew Phillips OBE is remembered " "We live in challenging times! Driven by the assumption that ‘bigger is better’ the overlooked reality is that contentment and fulfilment mostly depend on a sense of belonging and a communal life rich in relationships, otherwise people tend to feel lonely – even anonymous’. ‘Sudbury on Show' is a chance for us all to celebrate the many great things still going on in our wonderful town and district. Above all we hope it encourages people to get involved and so contribute to our general wellbeing" Andrew Phillips, OBE (1939 - 2023) Sudbury on Show Founder Prior to Sudbury on Show 2024 opening to the public, together with The Mayor of Sudbury, Olly Phillips and Sam Thornton, Chair of The Sudbury Society we unveiled the Andrew Phillips Memorial Plaque which sits proudly on the beautiful facade of Sudbury Library (formerly The Corn Exchange). Andrew Phillips was instrumental in saving the Corn Exchange from demolition and its subsequent conversion into the library. Just one of many local projects to ensure Sudbury's heritage is preserved whilst never resisting change for the betterment of our town. Sudbury owes a debt of gratitude to the work of this great man - he has left an indelible mark on Sudbury.
