Home to a beautiful waterfront, Ipswich - Suffolk is a stunning town that is a great place to go an enjoy a relaxed holiday that is filled with some fabulous activities.
One of the first Victorian Breweries in the UK is located in Ipswich. The Tolly Cobbold Brewery building is a beautiful example of architecture and reflects many of the buildings that were built by the Cobbold family in the town. Since 2002, the brewery has been open to the public at times and closed so you won't know until you get there if you will be able to see the fabulous museum that houses machinery and artifacts of early Victorian brewing.
Most of the parks in England are very well maintains and provide acres of Victorian gardens, glass houses, and spectacular statuary and ponds. Holywells Park offers all of this in it's 67 acres, but also a wonderful forest that has paths meandering through a stunning landscape.
Very few places house the beautiful Victorian dollhouses and toys that were popular during Victorian times. The Georgian Salon in Christchurch Mansion is home to an abundance of beautifully maintained dollhouses with the intricate fixtures and furniture popular during that period. The mansion is also home to a great museum and several unique specialty shops.
The beautiful fifteen square mile Christchurch Park provides you with a wonderful experience right in the Centre of Town. Archaeologists have found that it contains a medieval cemetery and was one part of the grounds of the Holy Trinity Priory in 1177. The town outgrew the Priory and in the 1300s' St. Margaret's was built and is in use today.
If you love theatre plan on attending the Annual Theatre in the Forest in April. This event is presented by the Red Rose Chain production company of actors and welcomes 8,000 visitors to the outdoor theatre events. The Suffolk Show is held in Trinity Park in June and hosts 80,000 people that enjoy the great livestock exhibits, gardens, children's farms, shops, foods, musical events and much more.
In September the Corn Exchange on King Street is host to the Ipswich Beer Festival. This event is great fun for anyone who enjoys food and beer tasting. There are over 200 beers and ales from throughout the region as well as events, booths, and great activities. Another great and unique event is the annual Woodbridge Horseshow that is held in May. This event has been taking place annually since 1871. This massive show has over 12 rings, 117 classes of horses and great activities that include parades, booth, food, and horses performing in different activities.
The last week of June is the beginning of the Ipswich Arts Festival when the entire town becomes part of the fun and excitement of this great annual event. Dance troupes, visual arts, poetry, music, theatre, events and activities occur on a daily basis throughout the two weeks of the festival.
When planning a holiday at Ipswich - Suffolk, you will find that there is a great number of bistros, cafes, pubs, wonderful hotels, B&Bs, self-catering flats available. Staying here is a splendid way to spend a long or short holiday and enjoy the events and activities that the town has to offer.
