Exhibition: Lavenham Guildhall 75 Years

Celebrate 75 Years of Lavenham Guildhall since it passed into the care of the National Trust, securing its future after centuries of changing fortunes.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This locally curated exhibition explores why the Guildhall was entrusted to the National Trust and how the people of Lavenham helped shape its next chapter - from community hub to museum - still at the centre of our community today. There’s a feature on cinema and television, which shares how this much-loved building continues to tell new stories, on screen and beyond. Now open in the Community Room on the top floor.
