Saxmundham has a very lively social scene catering for many sections of its population and neighbouring villages. All the latest news and upcoming events are published in the quarterly 'Saxmundham News' which is produced by the Town Council and distributed to all residents free of charge. A copy of the latest news is posted on this web site, as well as the latest news and comment from the Chairman of the town council. Most events in the town, including council meetings, are listed in the diary.

There are several significant annual events in the town such as St. Georges' Day Weekend celebrations, 'Saxmundham in Bloom', Saxmundham Arts Festival, and information about the 'Action Plan' which has improved the town over the past few years. There is also an ongoing plan to create a New Health Centre in Saxmundham, which so far has not been realised.
