Haverhill Enterprise

The highlight of Haverhill's cultural year is the annual Haverhill Festival, held in the last two weeks in June. Widely regarded as one of Suffolk's most successful arts festivals, it brings scores of international musicians, dancers and performers to the town for a fortnight long extravaganza that even spills on to the streets

Housed in the town's former civic hall, Haverhill Arts Centre is an impressive nineteenth century building with a Grade II listing. It has now been restored to its full splendour and plays host to over 250 events each year.

The eclectic nature of the centre's calendar of events helps to promote cultural diversity and encourage community cohesion. Its gift for producing dynamic and ambitious arts and entertainment programmes is legendary

Arts and culture are at the heart of this town where creative energy flourishes.

Haverhill's thriving music scene is not to be missed and offers an impressivearray of jazz, country, rock, folk, indie and classical. For those who appreciate their music loud, hard and fast the Haverhill Rock Competition takes some beating.

At the opposite end of the music spectrum is the award winning Haverhill Silver Band; while the town takes a place on the world stage with its very own internationally acclaimed, symphony orchestra, the Haverhill Sinfonia.
