Ipswich''s very own arts festival continues to attract some of the best local talent and has gained a huge crowd following...up to 200,000 people are expected to attend more than 70 events at a wide range of venues.
As well as using the more traditional spaces, Ip-Art takes exhibitions and performances into public buildings and spaces throughout the town. This colourful combination brings tradition, innovation and imagination to the arts in Ipswich.
The Ip-Art festival is organised by Ipswich Borough Council in conjunction with the festival management group comprising of arts partners across Ipswich.Ipswich Music Day as part of the festival is a free event with six stages promising something for everyone. With visual arts, performing arts, literature, film and music on the agenda it should be quite an event.
The beautiful setting of Christchurch Park will play host to some outstanding open-air events, including Proms in the Park with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Ipswich Mela, Music Day, Theatre on the Mansion lawn. Even New York comes to the park when the film “Sex And The City” is shown on a huge LED screen.
