Ipswich Music Day - Market Zone

Sunday 6th July, 12pm-8pm                                                                 

We have been asked by Ipswich Borough Council to take over a section of Christchurch Park at Ipswich Music Day and create our market zone for the second year running. 

Ipswich Music Day is the largest free one-day music festival in the UK and is a brilliant celebration of music, culture and local talent. There will be six stages of live entertainment and music from local upcoming artists, fairground rides, street food, and retail stalls.

Our market zone is located between the main pathway and the popular BBC Suffolk stage so we have a great footfall.
