Saxmundham celebrates the 750th anniversary of becoming a market town this year – coinciding with the Platinum Jubilee and a return to relative post-Covid normality, this summer will be a time to enjoy and acknowledge the town’s role as a hub of creativity, community and culture.
The Art Station is working with Saxmundham Town Council to install 75 flags along Saxmundham High Street, featuring flags designed by local artists, community groups, schools and organisations.
The new artist’s flags will be flown alongside a collection of Union Jacks and Ukrainian national flags already in place – providing the perfect celebratory backdrop for this year’s national events, including the Jubilee Big Lunch on Sunday 5th June, during which The Art Station will be delivering flag making workshops to attendees at their tables.
A subsequent exhibition of new and existing artist flags will be on display at The Art Station later this year. Please check back for details.

We are inviting you to submit a design for 1 of 3 Open Call flags – your design will be scaled up and printed on a 5x3ft flag and displayed on Saxmundham High Street for the summer, creating the perfect vibrant backdrop for an exciting season of events!
We are looking for fun, positive and celebratory flags. The deadline for entries is 5pm on Wednesday 18th May.
All are welcome to submit! There is no age requirement or fee to pay – but we will prioritise submissions from those local to Saxmundham, or with a connection to the town.
