Receipt for Christmas Cards at WS Cowell

Today is the last day for sending Christmas cards via first class post. Britten and Pears were very proactive about such things – in December 1970 they purchased a grand total of 2,440 Christmas cards!

Many people who visit Suffolk go to Aldeburgh but I urge you to also take some time to visit The Red House just nearby. A hidden gem whether or not you are in to Benjamin Britten the exhibition and archive, his lovely house and gardens are a treasure trove. Very family friendly too. A ticket lasts a year, so what are you waiting for? Be inspired.
