Eastlife Summer 2020 (Web)
Dear Reader, I wanted to let you know as a team here at Eastlife, we’ve been working hard during these uncertain times. We are lucky enough to be able to work from home on our laptops and are passionate about being your guide to the East. Therefore, after much discussion we decided to proceed with our summer issue. Though circumstances are uncertain at the time of print as COVID-19 hurls towards its peak, the articles in this magazine are there to offer some light relief and distraction. The articles aim to inspire you for happier times ahead. Just know that we will travel again, we’ll dance at festivals and concerts, we’ll dine out with friends and our glorious coastline will be waiting for us when this is over. As an independent publishing company, we rely on our wonderful advertisers to create a great read and we continue to support them through this difficult time. We’ll continue posting online at www.eastlife.co.uk and you can follow us on our social media platforms for relevant content during this time. Stay home, stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side!

The weekend of June 20 and 21 is a busy one in Bury with
the Nearly Festival of tribute bands in the Abbey Gardens,
the St John’s Street Festival in the town centre on Saturday
and the Suffolk Day Big Weekender on Sunday, which
is also the day of the annual and highly popular Hidden
Gardens event.
The following Sunday (July 12) sees a special Our Bury
St Edmunds Motorsports event with up to 30 stunning
vehicles on display on Cornhill when the monthly Farmers’
Market and Makers’ Market also take place.

Summer also means the now well-established celebration
of some of Bury’s best loved small and local businesses
with Our Bury St Edmunds ‘Independents’ Week’.
This year it runs from Monday June 29 to Sunday July 5
with the highlight being ‘Independents’ Day’ itself on
July 4. With many participants running special offers and
promotions throughout the week it’s a great opportunity to
pay a visit to some of our unique shops, salons, cafes and
boutiques tucked away in streets such as St Johns Street,
The Traverse and throughout our Medieval grid. The week is
co-ordinated by Mike Kirkham at Our Bury St Edmunds who
said: “We’ve held this celebration for several years now and
it’s a fantastic way to support truly local businesses and do
your bit to help the town centre. With Independents’ Day
itself falling on a Saturday when we also have a provisions
market I think there will be a tremendous atmosphere for
shoppers and visitors alike.”
Over the August bank holiday weekend the Our Bury St
Edmunds Food & Drink Festival has the return of one
of the event’s most popular celebrity chefs to the Stoves
Cookery Theatre when Paul Rankin turns up the heat on
Monday. Making a first appearance in the kitchen this year
on Sunday is Sean Wilson from Channel 5’s Great Northern
Cookbook – and who also played Martin Platt in Coronation
Street for 21 years. The event is a foodie’s paradise with
local produce, a farmers’ market and plenty of street food
stalls too. When our celebrity chefs aren’t on the stage
you’ll be able to watch cookery demonstrations by chefs
from some of the town’s best-loved restaurants including
1921, The Angel and Casa. And – as with the Whitsun
Fayre - you’ll also find loads of street entertainment, facepainting
and fairground rides. Enough to keep everyone in
the family happy throughout the day.
