Bury St Edmunds: 7 things to do on a rainy day

Let’s face it, the weather hasn’t been great this summer – and as the weather is getting more volatile, here are some ideas for a fun day out in Bury St. Edmunds when it rains.

Escape rooms

Escape rooms are a great way for you, your family and friends to test your problem-solving skills.

Since many Escape Rooms have different themes, it means that you can go more than once.

The evidence room in Bury is a great place to test your skills. But if you don’t feel like traveling, the Escape Room can come to you – because the Evidence Room has a crack the case game that you can send to your home.
