Looking for events in Ipswich this week? You’ll find a good mix of things to do, with plenty of options in Ipswich. From live performances to opportunities to enjoy local music, there’s something to suit various tastes. Whether you’re planning an evening out or looking for a daytime activity, you'll find a range of choices. This week focuses on music, with chances to enjoy intimate sets and larger festivals. You can find the Tolly Cobbold Brewery, or walk along the Ipswich Waterfront, utilising bus services that connect the area. You’ll also find relaxed options for making the most of the longer days.

It’s a good time to explore what Ipswich has to offer. Ipswich, one of England’s oldest towns, provides a backdrop of historic significance for this week’s events. This week’s offerings balance the familiar and the new, giving you a chance to support local talent and enjoy the town's cultural side. The River Orwell Bridge and the connections via the Great Eastern Main Line help access for those travelling from further away. We’ve curated activities that showcase the best of the next seven days, from performances potentially held near the Ipswich Old Cattle Market Bus Station, to more relaxed engagements. Be aware that traffic congestion on the A12 may affect travel, and parking near the town centre is often limited.

Check the listings below for times and venues. Consider using National Cycle Route 1 and 51, if accessible. Remember to check updates regarding Broomhill Pool’s reopening before planning any visits.
