Reviews

Really enjoyed easter break visit to the food museum. They had Easter lambs to ready to snuggle and cuddle and hidden Easter eggs They have enough area to walk around. It is good place to enjoy a day around Stowmarket area with kids.

A really enjoyable visit to the Food Museum today. Even on a grey rainy day there’s still a lot to see. My children love it here, the same as I did when I was a child.nnFavourites of ours are the old auctioneer’s hut I remember when it was in the livestock market in Bury St Edmunds!, the children’s workshop play area, the farm animals and the old mill.nnWe last visited back in summer 2022 when the museum hadn’t that long changed its name to the Food Museum. On today’s visit it looks like the food theme has much more been worked into the museum. The food tasting we had in the Bone Building with Anita was outstanding. We found out about the ingredients and I enjoyed learning about Jerusalem artichoke and the lovely soup that was made with it.nnThe tickets we bought are an annual pass to the museum and I know that we’ll be back again to make use of it when we’re next back  in Suffolk.

Visited The Food Museum for the first in ages. Took my Daughter to bottle feed the lambs and hold a chick. Stopped at the Bone building and tryed some Easter related food and beverages. The staff were very nice and helpful. Also the price for entrance is the same as for a hole year pass, so you might aswell get the season pass.

This is an amazing and very special place. I decided I wanted to work in museums because of coming here as a child. My grandfather donated a scythe to the collection and the interior of the tin chapel moved piece by piece in 1995 is reminiscent of the one I attended as a child. If you want immersive social history, rural walks, country animals, real learning opportunities for all ages across the breadth of social history in the area this is the place. East Anglia was at the heart of the agricultural revolution and shaped the way we produce and enjoy food. The programming is about living and enjoying our heritage and looking to nourish our minds and souls.

Great visit. Excellent buggy service for disabled visitors. Plenty to see from rare animal breeds, farm machinery, and recreations of ancient crafts. The on site cafe served delicious homemade lunches and cakes
