The Suffield Summer ¡Fiesta!

Following the blockbuster success of the inaugural launch of the Suffield Summer Fiesta last year, The Suffield Arms is excited to welcome the second Summer Fiesta, 14-16 August 2026. Another three glorious days of sun, music, food & drink staged in the stunning garden of the pub.

Enjoy a weekend of genre-spanning sounds, from dub-heavy post-punk and experimental grooves to bluesy indie, outlaw country and high-energy garage rock, closing on a retro-leaning mix of surf, psych and 60s-inspired pop – with the first wave of artists announced being:

**Friday 14 Aug:**
Jah Wobble & Family
The Neutrinos
Gina Birch & The Unreasonables
DJs Dean Chalkley & Si Cheeba from The Cat Is Back

**Saturday 15 Aug:**

The Summer Fiesta was inspired by The Suffield’s Sunday Sessions music events, which have seen the pub’s garden packed with music lovers every month during the summer. Due to overwhelming demand, the 2026 Fiesta will feature an expanded format:

Friday, 14 Aug: 4:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Saturday, 15 Aug: 12:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Sunday, 16 Aug: 12:00 pm – 9:30 pm with DJs until 11:00pm.

The Suffield Arms restaurant has carved out a reputation for its classic mouth watering Mediterranean inspired menu so for the Fiesta we take it outside again into the Garden. While the full menu and guest vendor lineup will be announced very soon, you can expect a high-end outdoor dining experience that mirrors the quality of the main restaurant.

Last but not least (which makes this a truly unique event), The Suffield Summer Fiesta has its own train station! Gunton train station is literally opposite the pub so anyone on the Bittern Line from Norwich to Sherringham can leave the car at home and take the train. The Fiesta will finish by 11pm so everyone can take the last trains home. For those wishing to drive there is extensive parking on site.

GUNTON TRAIN TIMES:
Friday & Saturday – Last train leaves at 11:40pm
Sunday – Last trains leave at 10:04pm & 11:06pm

We look forward to welcoming you to The Suffield Summer Fiesta in August!
