Red Gables

Red Gables A unique wellbeing centre in Stowmarket that has the community at heart. Red Gables is a Wellbeing Hub for the whole community.

As well as providing meeting and activity space for organisations, clubs and businesses, we actively promote services that help deliver better health and wellbeing for everyone. The main Red Gables building has been modernised to provide offices of varying sizes over three floors that are mostly leased to voluntary and community organisations that support local people in Mid Suffolk and the surrounding area. The Old Library was originally built in 1939 to provide library services to the local community. In 2012 it was extensively refurbished and was named as ‘Redwoods’. It is now a fully accessible facility that provides a large activity and meeting space with a modern catering kitchen, plus an attractive garden room for smaller meetings that overlooks our well maintained 1.5 acre gardens. The 1.5 acres of mature gardens sets a wonderful canvas for our facilities and contains beautiful Redwood trees, shrubs and lawns which provide a home for a variety of wildlife and will enhance your enjoyment when visiting Red Gables. It has also enabled us to develop a garden project that is supported and enjoyed by local people.

✨ New for Stowmarket Christmas Fayre 2025! ✨

Introducing our Christmas Trail 🎄

Pick up a trail sheet from Event Control or any partner location, explore the fayre, and hunt for the hidden letters across the event. Put them together to reveal a festive word!

Once you’ve completed the trail, head back to Event Control (in the town centre near the Memorial Clock) to collect a small prize - while stocks last.

A fun festive activity for all ages… happy exploring! 🎅✨
