Snape Maltings, which is owned and run by the music, arts and heritage
               charity Britten Pears Arts, is now also home to independent shops, art

               galleries and cafes.

               Snape Maltings Concert Hall has been newly listed at Grade II* by the
               Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the advice of

               Other buildings at the site are now listed at Grade II – the Britten Pears

               Building and Former Turning Gallery, and the Former Granaries.

               Historic England has also added further information to the existing list
               entries for Snape Maltings and Snape Bridge House, which are both listed at

               Grade II.

               Heritage minister Nigel Huddleston said: “The historic Snape Maltings has
               become a valuable asset to its community after being transformed into a


               much-loved concert hall and visitor attraction.
