Christchurch Park fireworks display, organised by 11th Ipswich Scout Group, to return for 52nd event this November

A popular annual fireworks display in Ipswich is set to return for its 52nd event this year.

Featuring a bevy of street food, bars, live music and a roaring bonfire, the annual Christchurch Park fireworks display will dazzle audiences on November 2.

Alchemy Fireworks will choreograph the display to well-known hits at the event organised by the 11th Ipswich Scout Group.

In addition, visitors will be treated to LED stilt walkers, a funfair and fairground plus a wealth of other attractions at the event which promises a night of fun and excitement for families.

Live music will cover a variety of genres, which the organisers hoped would suit all tastes.

Acts include ‘acrobatic African drummers’ One-Drum and ‘high-energy party band’ PRTY.

Also taking to the stage will be Ipswich piano-vocal duo Painting the Silence; Amy Allard; youngster Harry Martin and Serena Grant with her band.

Christchurch Park fireworks display began in 1971 and is run by a team of volunteers.

Money raised is put back into the community.

Last year’s event cost a whopping £25,000.

It costs more than £20,000 for the group to run its services per year, it revealed.

Gates for the event open at 6pm, with fireworks at 8pm.

Attractions remain open until 10pm.
