Join the Big Weekend 18 – 19 October 2025 and promote what’s on offer across Suffolk! 

In a nutshell, using the Big Weekend website, local visitor attractions offer limited free tickets to events and activities taking place over the Big Weekend in October. Using the website anyone with a Suffolk postcode enters the free prize draw to win the tickets of their choice. Winners are drawn from the entries and the lucky ticket holders get to enjoy their prize on the Big Weekend.

 To make the weekend a success, we need your support! And it’s a great opportunity to promote what you do across the county.

 As a participating organisation, you will receive the data of ticket entrants who wanted your ticket offer (the rate of public opt-in to share data is 50-60%), giving you live marketing data suitable for future campaigns and offers. Maybe you’ve been thinking about trying a new promotion or offer? The weekend can also be a great opportunity to try something new for your business, get Suffolk-wide marketing and benefit from targeted data at the end for future promotions.

 The Big Weekend is all about celebrating Suffolk’s diverse and exceptional tourism offer and encouraging local people to get out and explore things on their doorstep to share with family and recommend to friends.
