Ipswich This Week: Theatre, Fireworks and a Few Cosy Evenings In
Welcome to the first full week of November in Ipswich. The forecast is mild for the time of year, with temperatures around 8 to 13°C. There’s some light rain on Monday and Tuesday, and then it turns drier and mostly cloudy. A coat and a brolly will do nicely. The diary is full, with big nights out at the theatre, a fireworks festival on Saturday, and plenty of relaxed community get-togethers. Here’s our pick of what’s on, whether you live here or you’re visiting for a few days.

We begin on Tuesday 3 November, with Wyrd Sister at The New Wolsey Theatre. The 7pm start suits a pre-show bite in town. Tickets are around £15, and the age guidance is 12+. Please book through the event’s own website.
