Moyse's Hall Museum Museum with variety of collections For almost a thousand years Moyse's Hall has looked out over the Market Place of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.

It has seen many changes since it was built in 1180 and has had a variety of different uses, including a tavern and a 'gaol'. Currently it's a museum which provides an excellent setting in which to trace the unfolding story of West Suffolk, through displays which range from prehistoric times right through to the present. Moyse's Hall's own story is as rich and varied as the collections which it houses. Follow us on Instagram. Account name moyseshallmuseum, find us via or

Don't miss this at Moyse's Hall Museum on Saturday 7 November!

Not only do we produce fabulous musical theatre ...we also produce fabulous plays! We commissioned playwright James McDermott to write this emotional piece of drama.

Looking for something to move you and entertain you then come and visit one of the theatres that we are touring and get immersed in 18th Century Norfolk. This play follows the trial of Diss tailor Robert Carleton as his life quickly unravels before him as he is accused of murder and so**my and he faces the gallows.
