3,000 visitors already signed up for Suffolk Rural's Big Day Out celebration
The popular mini county show returns for its 20th year with tractor displays, animal handling, and free interactive experiences. Best of all? Free tickets are still available.
Why it matters: Suffolk New College's annual Big Day Out has become a fixture in the community calendar since it began in 2005, offering a day of family activities while showcasing the college's rural campus.

- Tractor displays
- Equine demonstrations
- Floristry workshops
- Live music
- Food stalls
- Tree climbing
- Animal handling
All departments will offer free interactive experiences related to their courses.
Things to note:
- Free entry for all visitors
- £5 car parking charge per vehicle
- Dogs are not permitted at this year's event because the college houses livestock.
What they're saying: "We are delighted to be celebrating 20 years of the Big Day Out. We place a tremendous amount of value on the role that we have in the community - and we can't wait to welcome visitors to our Suffolk Rural Campus on 10 May," said Charlotte Rossiter, event supervisor for Suffolk New College.
