The village is in the beautiful countryside of Suffolk, set
in the middle of the valley
of the River Stour. It is very easy to find, just north of
Sudbury, beside the A134 road to Bury St Edmunds. The Memorial
Hall is situated at the end of Hall Street, the main North-South
road, which is wide and spacious, and allows free parking
throughout much of its length.
The local shops include two bookshops & a famous array
of antique shops that featured in the "Lovejoy"
TV series a few years ago.
Bank Holiday Monday 9th April 2007 10.00 am - 4.00 pm.
The hall is on the High Street, about 200 yards south (towards
Colchester) of the church.
There is limited parking at the hall itself, but there is
a very large, free, car park on Mill Lane – about a ten-minute
pleasant stroll. There is also free on street parking limited
to two hours along the High Street.
Dedham is most famous for featuring in paintings by Constable
but its artistic claims also include the Munnings Museum established
in the house where the renowned horse painter lived for many
years. Dedham is on the Essex / Suffolk border, marked by
the river Stour which is a popular place for walking, boating
and admiring the wildlife.
The Dedham Book Fair runs on Easter Mondays. Fairs here started
in 1994, and rain or shine (although it mostly seems to shine!)
it has proved to be a very popular day.
A variety of homemade refreshments are available at the fair,
ranging from bacon sandwiches to cream cakes. Dedham also
has two well-known pubs, with good reputations for food, and
other eating-places by the river.
The exhibitor capacity at Dedham is 21 and the hall is invariably
fully booked with dealers from far and wide.
