We've introduced advance booking to keep everyone safe and maintain social distancing. To avoid disappointment please book in advance, especially at busier times such as weekends and bank holidays.

We're limiting numbers throughout the indoor areas of the site and asking everyone to give other visitors, and our team, plenty of space. Please note that you may have to queue before entering indoor areas.

We are following government guidance and supporting the NHS Test and Trace programme in some indoor areas. We’ll ask you to leave brief contact details. It’s voluntary – but it’s very helpful to the NHS Test and Trace programme if you agree. Your details will be securely destroyed after 21 days and not used for any other purpose.

In line with government guidance please bring a face covering with you.

Hand sanitiser is available at each building. Most indoor areas follow a one-way system. Protective screens are fitted to our till points.

Awe-inspiring Anglo-Saxon royal burial site. This hauntingly beautiful 255 acre estate, with far-reaching views over the river Deben, is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.

Walk around the Royal Burial Ground and discover the incredible story of the ship burial of an Anglo-Saxon king and his treasured possessions. Come face to face with your ancestors and explore our High Hall exhibition with stunning replica treasures and some original finds from one of the mounds, including a prince's sword. Visit Tranmer House to delve into the story of archaeology at Sutton Hoo and some of the characters involved, or enjoy the beautiful seasonal colours on our estate walks.

Please be aware the High Hall exhibition, Tranmer House and the shop are closed on Thursdays and Fridays.
