Black Shuck Festival
From theatre, music and performance, to art, literature, and history, the Black Shuck Festival will offer exciting and thrilling activities for all ages and abilities, immersing visitors in the rich folklore of the region, set in the stunning natural environment of Bungay and the Waveney valley.
The East Anglian legend of Black Shuck tells of a wild black dog that entered Bungay’s St Mary’s Church during a violent storm on 4 August 1577. The animal then reappeared at Blythburgh church, where it was trapped and its claw marks, burned into the surface of the door, can be seen to this day.
1-3 August.
