This month in Ipswich, there’s plenty to look forward to, from spring events and live entertainment to family-friendly activities across the town.
Families can take part in the SIPSWICH 2026 drinks trails, explore the new Constable 250 exhibition at Christchurch Mansion, or visit The Ancient House to connect with the culture and heritage team and have your say in shaping a new 10-year vision for Ipswich.
We’ve rounded up some of the top things happening this month, including an exciting All Dayer music festival to close out April in style…
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Suffolk born artist John Constable (1776-1837), one of the most important British painters of all time.
To commemorate his life and work, the first of three exhibitions is now on display at Christchurch Mansion, featuring portraits he painted, thanks to National Lottery Heritage Funding.
