Sudbury Stories
Put on your headphones, press play, and listen to our free Streets Aloud! audio trail.
The Suffolk town of Eye is the inspiration for this community ‘sound collage’ created using words contributed by the local people who know and love this place.
Starting at The Bank Arts Centre, this 30-minute walk takes the listener on a circular route down Castle Street, along Church Street, up Lambseth Street to the Crinkle Crankle wall, and then back down to Broad Street.
On the way, a digital tuning dial scans the imaginary airwaves picking up memories of shops and parties, celebrations of ancient buildings, sounds from nature, plus beautiful, informative and funny poems specially written by local school pupils.
Can’t make it to Eye? No problem – you can listen to Streets Aloud! anywhere you like and let the words and sounds transport you!

Sudbury Stories was made possible thanks to support from Sudbury Arts Centre, the people of Sudbury, professional Storyteller Justine de Mierre and Sound Designer Jack Baxter.
Sudbury Stories is part of our Market Town Bound project featuring a series of community events in market towns across Babergh & Mid Suffolk. These projects celebrate the heritage of each town and bring residents together to enjoy communal activities. This project has been made possible thanks to funding from Babergh & Mid Suffolk District Council Community Development Grant.
