Drinkstone is a small village and civil parish in the district of Mid Suffolk in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits in gently rolling arable countryside a few miles south‑east of Bury St Edmunds, with a cluster of timber‑framed cottages, a village green and lanes that lead out to surrounding farms and copses.
The village has a medieval parish church and several listed buildings associated with the historic Drinkstone Park estate; agriculture remains an important part of the local economy, while many residents commute to nearby towns. Community life is centred on the village hall and occasional local events, and conservation of historic buildings helps preserve the quiet rural character typical of central Suffolk.
