We have refurbished our creative space and its up and running. Come and visit!

The former Old Post Office and telephone exchange is located on the historic Saxmundham High Street. This iconic 1950s industrial building of glass and concrete was designed by Thomas Winterburn, one of a team of ten ‘post office’ architects who designed post office buildings as part of the post war ‘Festival of Britain’ movement of design and architecture. A busy, working post office/telephone exchange until the 1980s, the building had gradually emptied and the first floor lay vacant for five years. You can find out more about the building at Telephone Exchange.
