Ipswich has an array of ‘places to visit’ with scenic walks around Christchurch or Holywells parks or boats along the heritage harbour at Ipswich waterfront where you can enjoy river trips with the Orwell Lady in the summer months. In the town centre why not watch a film at one of three cinemas, try axe throwing at Boom Battle Bar, watch an Ipswich Town football match at Portman Road or play for yourself with friends at Goals.
