WELCOME TO IPSWICH IN AUTUMN
This Autumn is set to be an exciting one
with lots of events and activities happening
around Ipswich.
The annual Ipswich Festival kicks off from
7 April and continues through until 24 April.
The popular Parade of Light is on 16 April
and with the theme of Superheroes and
Villains – Comic Book Adventures, we’re all
sure to be in for a super good time.
Don’t forget that the Ipswich Show is also
coming up on 13 – 15 May. Be set for a
sensational three days of entertainment,
rides, Demolition Derby, and of course the
spectacular firework display.
The day to spoil your Mum is Mother’s Day
on 8 May. Take the whole family to George
Palmer Park in Silkstone and plant a tree
together at the Trees for Mum Day event.
It’s a great activity to celebrate your Mum
whether she be near or far.
The ever popular Movies in the Park has
two movies lined up for everyone, young
and old, to enjoy for free. Bring a picnic
blanket or even a comfy beanbag and kick
back and watch free movies on the big
screen under the stars. It doesn’t get much
better than that!
This guide is bursting with things to do for
the whole family this Autumn, so don’t be
afraid to get out and about and enjoy what
Ipswich has to offer.
