Why visit Moyse’s Hall?

A unique opportunity for schoolchildren to visit one of the oldest Medieval buildings in Bury St Edmunds, which houses a variety of collections on art, local and social history, the Suffolk Regiment, the Red Barn Murder, crime and punishment, death and witchcraft, and medieval life.

Children can experience a tour of the museum and its collections as well as workshops on art and history, and handle original or replica artefacts.
