Welcome to the Old Hospital, a repurposed Victorian cottage hospital that is now home to Southwold Library, Geography Fieldwork Academy and The Canteen, our community café.

The Old Hospital is a beautiful and environmentally sustainable space that has been designed with the needs and wishes of our community in mind. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, we hope you will enjoy this special place.
