Hop to it – St Elizabeth Hospice Art Trail
Then The Hop to It – St Elizabeth Hospice Art Trail – 21st June – 29th August. Following the success of Pigs Gone Wild, Elmer’s Big Parade and the Big Hoot Ipswich, St Elizabeth Hospice will be hosting a fourth art trail – called Hop to it! Suffolk 2025. The trail will once again be hosted in Ipswich as well as, for the first time, in neighbouring satellite locations including Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Beccles and Lowestoft. The hospice’s vital services are increasingly far-reaching and support communities throughout Suffolk. Hospice staff, like hares, swiftly travel across the local area, through towns, villages and the rural countryside, to deliver compassionate care, when it is needed most. Through hosting Hop to it! Suffolk 2025, St Elizabeth Hospice aims to give local communities a bright, vibrant and family friendly event to look forward to and enjoy.
