While the temperatures have cooled slightly, sunnier weather is looking likely to stay.
As a result, families are planning days out across Suffolk in a bid to keep kids entertained.
Ahead of the summer holidays, here are some reasons why Bury St Edmunds is the perfect place to visit in the sun.
1. Parks
If you want a place to relax, perhaps enjoy a picnic, and enjoy the summer sun, the west Suffolk town is the place to visit.
The jewel in Suffolk's crown has plenty of places to enjoy an afternoon in the sun, from the Abbey Gardens in the centre to slightly further afield at Nowton Park and Ickworth Park.
2. Historic landmarks
If you are a history fanatic, you can learn a lot in Bury St Edmunds.
The historic Abbey Gardens dates back more than 1,000 years, and is overlooked by the stunning St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
3. Foodie hotspot
Many know the west Suffolk town for being the unofficial "foodie capital" of the county.
Pea Porridge, the only Michelin star restaurant in Suffolk, leads from the front, but there are numerous quaint food spots that cater for outdoor dining.
4. Independent shops
The arc Shopping Centre is home to several national retailers, but Bury is known for its independent shops.
Both Abbeygate Street and St John's Street are two areas lined with boutique business selling everything from beer and alcohol to clothing.
5. Events
Throughout the year, there is always something going on in the town.
This summer Moyses's Hall in the Cornhill is holding the Urban Frame: Mutiny in Colour exhibition, welcoming artwork by world-renowned artists, while Bury St Edmunds Food and Drink Festival takes place at the end of August.
