Local amenities include craft, food and antiques shops, independent boutiques as well as some national chains, plus a myriad of pubs and an independent cinema.

One of Aldeburgh's claims to fame is the town's fish and chip shop which was described by 'The Times' as 'possibly the finest on the East Coast'.

The Jubilee Hall nestled on the seafront hosts many festivals, theatre shows, talks and fairs throughout the year.

The town is notable for having been the home of composer Benjamin Britten and as being the centre of the international Aldeburgh Festival of arts at nearby Snape Maltings founded by him in 1948.
