In and around the high street, there are a variety of businesses, including a couple of supermarkets and some great places to eat and drink. A pint of Suffolk ale in one of the town’s cosy pubs is highly recommended. The Rampant Horse and the Swan are both excellent options. The Angel is a popular café with a reputation for delicious homemade food. Brett’s Bakery is where visitors on self-catering holidays in Needham Market go for fresh bread and treats. On the town’s doorstep, Suffolk’s unique landscapes of windswept marshes, heaths, pastures and shingle shores await discovery. The countryside surrounding the town is wonderfully unspoiled and is crisscrossed by scenic footpaths.

The bustling market town of Stowmarket is well worth a visit, just a 10-minute drive to the north east from Needham Market. Every Thursday and Saturday, the town’s market is the perfect opportunity to pick up fresh produce from the fields and coast of Suffolk. The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are less than an hour’s drive away, with fishing villages, classic seaside resorts, and stunning beaches. Visits to Aldeburgh, Southwold and Felixstowe are all highly recommended.
