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 - 11:00 pm
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 train home at 11:40 pm. For those wishing to drive there is extensive parking on site.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Suffield Summer Fiesta in August!
