welcome to our spring issue of aboutsuffolk

Who doesn’t love spring! Such a gorgeous month, full of promise, blossom and birdsong, and in this issue we bring you a true celebration of this vibrant and joyful season. We explore Priory Barn, a cool contemporary barn conversion; the gardens of Helmingham Hall, which are now home to an inspiring selection of sculptures; and take a stroll through the streets of Bungay, a charming market town with so much to offer.

Sustainability is also a common theme. We take a look at the designs of Hyrst’s beautiful low impact flatpack furniture, how to recycle our wardrobes with Vintage Sister to try and slow down the trend for fast fashion and have a chat over the counter of the Black Dog Deli. There is also the chance to win a £100 voucher for The Dennington Queen, tips on how to hang out in the garden with style, ideas on where to relax and unwind, and top stories from around the county.
