This Sunday visitors to Ipswich town centre will be welcomed with a display of green themed entertainers as a part of Ipswich Central’s first ever Go Green Extravaganza.

From 11am until 4pm families will be entertained by Snip and Clip, the garden barber beetles, accompanied by Mrs Garden, the Djansa Drum Group, Flower Stilt Walkers, a human statue and the SGR Thunders.

Throughout the day between 11.30am and 3.30pm Snip and Clip will be performing their interactive show, which encourages children to get involved in their fun song and dance routine.

From midday until 2pm the Djansa Drum group will be performing their West African tunes on drums and other percussion instruments which are made from renewable resources and brought at fair prices directly from the producers.

During the event the Flower Stilt Walkers will also dazzle the crowds, and a special green human statue will perform a unique recycling themed mime, utilising a wheelie bin - which is guaranteed to be a sight not to be missed!

In addition to the entertainment, the SGR Thunders will be on hand to distribute the free Go Green fabric reusable shopping bags, and free energy efficient light bulbs (whilst stocks last) to the visitors.

“We are all set for the Go Green event this Sunday 30th March, and we want to invite everyone to join us for a day of fun entertainment, interesting exhibitions, tasty samples, free giveaways and some enjoyable green education.” Paul Clement, Executive Director of Ipswich Central explained. “Being green doesn’t have to be difficult and boring – this Sunday we will prove that it can be both simple and fun.”
