WOW – LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS SUMMER!

Ipswich Central announced last week that for three weeks in the summer they will be blanketing the Cornhill in grass every Wednesday from 11th August as part of their Wow! (What’s on Wednesday?) project.

 

The initiative will see the area in front of the Town Hall become a perfect family picnic spot and entertainment arena.

 

Today, Paul Clement, Executive Director of Ipswich Central, confirmed the array of acts and entertainment which will form part of the three-weeks.

“Every Wednesday visitors to the town centre will see the grassed area in place from 8.30am, and as business people pass through on the way to work they will get to witness the likes of a fun fitness session, early-morning yoga, or some tempting breakfast treats.

“As the day progresses things will lead into activities such as circus-training, animated robotics, music from a steel band, dance, and an outdoor cinema showing Monsters Vs Aliens and Mamma Mia.”

He added: “Not only will we have this great grassed picnic area and the terrific entertainment, but we’ve got lots of eating establishments and retailers adding their weight to the summer campaign by offering special deals through our Ipswich Central Plus Scheme, only available on these Wednesdays.

“It makes for a great package for families and a real reason to visit the town regularly throughout August.”

A nominal fee of £1 will be charged for entry to the arena.

The full programme for Week One (Wednesday 11th August) of the Wow! (What’s on Wednesday?), is as follows:

8.30am – Fitness session let by Matt Brennan of MB Fitness

9am – Area open to the public and breakfast treats being offered to first arrivals

10am onwards –

10am – Charge applies for WOW! (What's on Wednesday?) entry
