Music
Snape Maltings is one of the world’s leading centres of music, where you'll find inspiring concerts and festivals throughout the year, from the flagship Aldeburgh Festival to the folk, world and jazz of the Snape Proms.
In all our work we are guided by founder Benjamin Britten’s pioneering vision for a place of international importance, rooted in its local community.
"One of those rare artistic places where the buildings, the people who visit and work there, the magical setting, come together and enable you to do something out of the ordinary."
Alfred Brendel
Snape Maltings Creative Campus
What really makes Snape Maltings special is its creative campus, with its year-round programme of residencies and development for artists at all career stages, from under 18s to established stars, as well as pioneering community engagement projects. The campus buzzes with the energy of artists creating innovative work in an inspirational environment – come to one of our series of Open Sessions and Masterclasses to get behind the scenes and see projects in development.
