Annual Barbecue Party 2026

Our annual barbecue on 9th August 2026 - 1pm, at Broombank, Saxmundham Road, Aldeburgh, IP15 5PQ (Map reference TM444582 or what3words: ///erupted.stems.ladder) will offer a new perspective of the riverside from Broombank, by kind invitation of Nicky and Charles Manby.

We will be on the grassy banks edged by reeds and overlooking the expanse of Hazlewood Marshes with views over to Iken and Yarn Hill. It is a great occasion to catch up with fellow members.

Access by car:
From Aldeburgh: Leaving Aldeburgh on the Saxmundham Road, the A1094, go past the golf club on your right and down the hill. At the top of the next rise, take the second turning (driveway - its entrance is marked by a red and white pole) on the left where you will see signs for the BBQ.

From the Snape direction:
Coming towards Aldeburgh on the A1094 from the A12 and Snape, after seeing the Hazelwood Marshes over to your right you come into the 40 mph zone in a dip in the road. After about 250 yards, as you come out of the dip, take the turn on the right to Broombank (driveway - its entrance is marked by a red and white pole). It will be signposted for the BBQ.

Access by river:
This year our apologies, we have a wonderful view over the river but there is no access by water.

Please bring your own chairs or rugs. Dogs are welcome but please keep them on a lead.

A small cash bar will be available selling wine, beer and water, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks.

There will be a hog roast plus salads and a dessert. Please let us know if a non-meat alternative is needed.

We need volunteers!
When you purchase your ticket(s) please let us know if you, or any of your party, can offer help as a parking supervisor, serving at the bar, serving salads or desserts or as a “clearer upper”.


To reduce paperwork, physical tickets will not be issued. To provide the details of those who are attending, please complete the questionnaire at the checkout and they will be checked off on arrival.


PLEASE NOTE: Due to the charges incurred to process a refund we regret that we are unable to issue refunds on this occasion.
