The Bank Eye in Mid Suffolk

This is a great indoor space for small groups of friends to meet up. Our children really enjoyed themselves. It’s well organised and a selection of games can be organised prior to the visit. Definitely recommend!😀

The Vault - my son recently attended a fab birthday party held in the Vault, a high spec gaming zone for up to 8 players. A fun time, with nice people, great support, and good food. A great addition to the town.

Great coffee and home made cakes and savoury items. Nice space with changing art exhibitions. Very friendly staff and a small shop selling locally sourced merchandise.Various activities and classes take place here.

A really good, friendly place to drop in for tea or coffee and to find out what's going on in the area. Very nice cheese scones too!

Just spent a couple of hours chatting to Mike Durrant and Paula Huggins at the signing of his new book called My Eye. I bought 3 copies. Lovely place to go and meet people you haven't seen for years. Lovely coffee and good selection of cakes. Why didn't we have somewhere like this when we were young? Annette Ruth.

Great use of a building that has passed it's original use.Very arty and slightly zany.Maybe could benefit from some background music, maybe 60s flower power......lol.Drop in for a tea or coffee and just chill.Eye is difficult to park so that's the only drawback, but great if you are a lovCal and can walk here.Original bank wood paneling looks fab.

I love it at The Bank Arts Centre. Art classes and workshops, great coffee and light refreshments during the day and a good mix of events in the evening. The Waveney Valley Folk Collective meet the second Thursday of each month for their open floor night which is a great showcase of local folk musicians. Life drawing classes during the day and again in the evening on Tuesdays. Pottery in he daytime on Thursday. Rolling art exhibitions.

I attended a print course here and it was excellent. Emily was a great tutor, very patient and very knowledgeable. If it's something you've always fancied then give it a try. You'll have fun and at the end of the course you may even have something to put on the wall. I didn't but that's because my artistic skills are somewhat lacking. I have the art equivalent of 2 left feet...hobbit feet at that.

This establishment is a former bank and a new Community Group have turned it into an arts venue keeping all the beautiful wood panels etc that were originally in the building! I have been here to see a stage performance where the cafe is transformed into a Theatre - Magic! I've been here to a knit and natter group but this time I came in for tea and cake with my husband! There was a lady enjoying a late lunch whilst sketching, there were another couple having lunch and another couple came in as we were leaving! There is a special board which has some tempting meals on it. A very special unique place in the centre of a dear little town!

Excellent food and music venue. We saw the Fabulous Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra here. They have stunningly good bands from all over the world! Eye is very lucky to have this place!
