A new route around the site will allow visitors to walk in the steps of the Anglo-Saxons.
Tranmer House, the former home of Edith Pretty who instigated the dig that would lead to the discoveries, will be transformed with a new exhibition exploring a timeline of multiple discoveries and the ongoing research at this and other archaeological sites.
Enhanced guided tours, thought-provoking activities and installations, innovative interpretation and creative programming will all sit alongside a schools education programme.
In addition, partnership working with archaeological bodies, the British Museum and the local community will all help to help bring both the landscape and Exhibition Hall to life.
We’ll also be completing some great improvements to the welcome centre and car park.
Releasing the Sutton Hoo Story
The project, called ‘Releasing the Sutton Hoo Story’, will enable us to create an experience that helps visitors discover more about this internationally significant site and how its stories have captured the imaginations of people the world over.
Allison Girling, Property Operations Manager at Sutton Hoo said: “We welcome visitors with a wide range of interests and knowledge to Sutton Hoo and these plans are all about sharing more about the history of this special place, helping visitors delve deeper into the lives of the Anglo-Saxons who settled here, the people who discovered them and to learn more about what it is that makes Sutton Hoo so fascinating.
