    CTC (Children’s Theatre Company)
    Dec 19 2025
    It’s been a real song and dance producing our latest podcast, which is all about the wonderful team at CTC (Children’s Theatre Company)! Kevin Burch went to see them rehearse for their upcoming production of Annie Jr and met CTC principal, Bridie Rowe and, some of the very talented cast. Bridie explains all about the quality of CTC’s work and how this has impacted the hundreds of young people who have been part of its journey, since she launched the company 16 years ago. Starting as a Summer School, CTC now runs professional, full-time musical theatre courses, which sees graduates performing in world-class shows. Both courses are hugely successful, but it’s CTC’s award-winning productions that they’ve become most famous for. Currently rehearsing for Annie Jr, the cast of 84 will perform at Seckford Theatre in February half term. Soon after, rehearsals will begin for their big annual summer production, which will be staged at one of Suffolk’s top theatres. Bridie has assembled a “Dream Team” who share her vision and passion, going above and beyond every single day. Their joy of teaching is clear and Bridie knows how much training to perform can mean to young people; helping them in terms of confidence, teamwork, professionalism and the opportunity to make lifelong friends.

    Carters of Suffolk
    Nov 14 2025
    Each one takes about a week to make and they truly are things of beauty. They’re the hand-made and hand-painted teapots, produced by the talented team at Carters of Suffolk. Based at Stonham Barns Park, the business is now in the hands of John and Val Baldry. For our latest podcast Kevin Burch went to meet them and to see their extraordinary range, which is highly sought after by collectors around the world. John, Val and the team are rightly very proud of what they do, as the only company in the country that produces handmade teapots. From the initial block of clay through to the final brushstrokes, everything is done completely in-house. Not only can they craft orders from their existing two and a half thousand moulds, but they also take on bespoke requests. Most of their handmade, hand painted creations are produced in numbers small enough to make them truly rare and highly collectable. A pottery business and also a tearoom, this is a delightfully friendly and welcoming place. People can walk in and talk to the team to find out all about what they do. Their paint your own service is also unique in that there are no time slots and customers can choose to be there half an hour, or stay and paint all day!

    Constable Park
    Oct 17 2025
    As many an entrepreneur will tell you, the key to success is spotting an opportunity and taking a leap of faith. That’s what happened with Ian and Sarah Williams, who took on an unloved patch of land on the banks of the River Stour and have transformed it into a highly successful holiday and leisure park. In this episode, Kevin Burch meets this dynamic duo, to find out all about Constable Park. Set in the heart of Constable Country overlooking Dedham Vale and the RSPB nature reserve in Brantham, Constable Park is a new holiday & leisure park. Welcoming day visitors and holiday makers, this has become a real destination for locals and tourists alike. People can enjoy a top-quality brunch before kayaking or paddle-boarding on the beautiful River Stour and, those lucky enough to stay can snuggle up in the cosy luxuries of a glamping pod. Sarah explains how she likes meticulously planning, whilst Ian has the vision, and how their complimentary skills have enabled them to transform a field of brambles into a desirable location that people flock to – not least for their Paddle, Pizza & Prosecco!
