Christmas Events in Ipswich

Ipswich is a vibrant town and especially at this time of year, with many events themed for both the Christmas and New Year Festivities.

Across the length and breadth of the Town, venues, charities, businesses and arts organisations have pulled out all the stops to offer workshops and classes, visits from Father Christmas, parties, movie showings, murder mysteries and spectacular balls.  Our events’ platform has a large number of experiences to get involved in, and here we feature just a few of the many on offer:
