Welcome to Moyse’s Hall
A medieval building with local history and collections in the heart of Bury St Edmunds.
For almost a thousand years Moyse’s Hall has looked out over the market place of Bury St Edmunds. It has seen many changes since it was built in 1180 and provides an excellent setting in which to trace the unfolding story of the town.

Including changes from medieval times through to the present day there are also items connected with the struggle for law and order, dating from the days when Moyse’s Hall was a gaol and police station. Follow different themes of timekeeping history alongside paintings which capture individual human faces at a moment in time. Explore fashion, trade and more through changing collections. Learn about nearly 300 years of the Suffolk Regiment from 1685 until it was amalgamated into the Royal Anglians in 1959 and discover exhibits from their fighting past including the Seven Years War, the Boyne, World Wars One and Two.

Workshops, guided tours, lectures and hands-on activities make up a varied programme of events with something to suit everyone. Fully accessible with toilets and baby changing facilities. Groups welcome.
