For everything to do, see and celebrate in Ipswich, there's Ipswich.love
Ipswich is a brilliant town. Sure, it has its challenges, but it can sometimes feel like it gets used as a political football, rather than getting the praise, support and celebration it deserves. Ipswich.love is a not-for-profit CIC and is the home of promoting events in Ipswich, engaging with, and connecting communities.
