Black Shuck & Friends
Our latest exhibition features selected artists from the Black Shuck Festival Open Call. The Black Shuck Festival is hosted in Bungay from 3rd, 4th and 5th August, celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of East Anglia.
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.
