The Big Weekend is all about celebrating The Heart of Suffolk’s tourism and leisure offer and it will exclusively allow local Babergh and Mid Suffolk residents to bid and win free tickets from an array of places to visit and things to do on their doorstep, giving them the opportunity to explore local attractions that they might not have otherwise visited. The Big Weekend is all about instilling a sense of pride in the districts and inspiring residents to share their enthusiasm with visiting friends and family.
