Attending Day Schools at Tranmer House or The Old Court
Once you have booked:
Once we receive your request we will provisionally reserve a place for you. On receipt of the cheque we will confirm that place and send you a receipt plus a copy of the day's programme. If you are booking close to the day we will ask you to bring the cheque/cash with you. Paper copies of the programme will be handed out on the day.
How to get there:
| Study Days are normally held in Tranmer House which is on the Sutton Hoo National Trust estate (OS Grid Ref TM288492) or in The Old Court which is opposite the restaurant. Sutton Hoo is 9 miles north-east of Ipswich. If you have access to the internet you can access an interactive map by entering the post code ‘IP12 3DJ’ into www.multimap.com. |

|
| in one mile take the second exit at the roundabout to Bawdsey. |

The exhibition:
We have negotiated a special arrangement with the National Trust whereby you can gain free access to the exhibition during the Day School break for lunch. To obtain the free access (when the exhibition is open to the public) you must present the Day School programme at NT reception to obtain an entry ticket. You will not be allowed entry without obtaining a ticket first. This special arrangement only applies on the actual day of the Day School, it cannot be used on any other day.

You may cancel up to 7 days before the event and receive a full refund. After that date a cancellation charge of £5 is payable.
