The Black Shuck Exhibition
Our latest exhibition features over 200 selected works from the 2025 Black Shuck Festival Open Call. The Black Shuck Festival is hosted in Bungay from 1st, 2nd and 3rd August, celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of East Anglia.
The exhibition runs from 31st July to 16th August, we are open over the festival weekend (1st, 2nd and 3rd August) and after that we are open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4:30pm
The legend of Black Shuck tells of a wild black dog that entered Bungay’s St Mary’s Church during a violent storm on 4 August 1577. The animal then reappeared at Blythburgh church, where the beast was trapped and its claw marks, burned into the surface of the door, can be seen to this day.
