Greene King Visitor Centre

Visit the home of Abbot Ale, Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and Ruddles County at the King Visitor Centre, situated next to the Brewery in the heart of the bustling market town of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

We have a Museum that traces the history of brewing in and around Bury St Edmunds from the earliest times, and the story of the Greene and King families who came together in 1887 to form Greene King and Sons Ltd.

There has been a brewery on our site in Bury St Edmunds since at least 1700 and we are still going strong today!

Our 'new' Brew House was built in 1938 and is a wonderful example of art deco architecture with Italian marble flooring and walls on the mash tun floor.

Guided Tours of the Brew House

If you would like to book a tour to take place after Easter 2006 please contact the Visitor Centre on 01284 714297.

See how real beer is produced using natural ingredients and traditional brewing methods. A tour round our historic working brewhouse includes the best view of Bury St Edmunds from the roof (weather permitting). Start at the museum, tour the brewery and then taste the different beers in our Brewery Tap.

After your tasting, come back to our shop to purchase your gifts, souvenirs and cases of beers.

The evening tour is a great way to start a celebration – birthday, retirement, stag or hen night!
