The aim of the weekend is to promote the county as a place to visit for short breaks and day trips from now and throughout the four years of the Cultural Olympiad. The free entry passes on offer will provide a taster of the wealth of cultural, leisure, sporting and heritage opportunities Suffolk has.

She continued:
"This is a showcase for Suffolk and for the wonderful sites and attractions we have here on our doorstep. The event has shown how businesses and people across the county are so enthusiastic about getting involved and living life to the full in this wonderful county we live in. I hope this weekend will be a boost for tourism and a taster for those who want to get involved through the four year Cultural Olympiad and beyond."
