Tickets have just been launched for a free family fun day in Suffolk.

The occasion called Big Day Out will take place on Saturday, 9 May 2026, between 10 am and 4 pm at the Suffolk New College Suffolk Rural campus based in the village of Otley.
This will be the 21st anniversary of an event that was first set up in 2005 and regularly attracts around 4000 to 5000 visitors.
According to the organiser from Suffolk New College, Charlotte Rossiter, the event will be ‘filled with family-friendly fun and fantastic food’.

Ms Rossiter continued: “The campus will be transformed into a vibrant hub, offering a variety of stalls showcasing handmade crafts, deli products, sweet treats, and a selection of delicious food from local vendors.
“Activities that will cater to every age and interest will include football fun ahead of the World Cup, demos in the animal unit, a climbing wall, face painting and tractor displays.”
She added, “This event offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy quality time with family, as well as seeing the huge investment that has taken place at Suffolk Rural.”
