The town of Ipswich offers everything you need when hosting an event in one of Suffolk's finest towns, with tried and tested tips that will ensure any occasion goes smoothly and enjoyably. Not only that, but you'll also get great insider knowledge about this sometimes-overlooked part of England as well as links to the very best Ipswich venues for hire.

As one of the largest towns in East England, Ipswich has much to offer a prospective visitor or business traveller.
Indeed, along with the nearby port of Felixstowe, Ipswich is home to one of the most diverse and thriving economies in the entire region, a prosperity that is reflected in the number of quality display and exhibition spaces that are available for hire within the town and its surrounding districts.
This financial prosperity means that that the Ipswich venues presented here cover the entire gamut of places for rent, from smaller, intimate venues that are ideal for music events or family gatherings to larger-capacity convention and exhibition centres. Not only that, but the location of the town itself makes it ideal for staging an event, big or small.

Much of Ipswich's current envied status lies in its convenient proximity to London: delegates to a convention or exhibition staged here can be transported by car or rail from the capital in less than two hours. Likewise, the UK's largest airport, Heathrow International is an easy afternoon's drive away, eastbound on the M25 orbital motorway.
In addition to commerce, Ipswich is home to one of the United kingdom's most thriving arts communities, with many celebrated local artists in residence and a subsequently large number of arts and craft galleries. Many of the best Ipswich venues are specialised exhibition facilities that are geared towards artistic endeavours (including pottery and music) and several of the country's pre-eminent museums and antique dealers hold auctions and exhibitions regularly in and around the town centre.
The town is also home to several 4- and 5-star hotels which can provide excellent meeting and conference facilities for both business and family gatherings. Choosing one of these premises for your event has the added benefit of keeping everything 'in-house', where accommodation, meeting space and catering can all be handled by the one venue.

Another major attraction for anyone thinking of hosting an event here is the sheer range and quality of Ipswich venues themselves. Any kind of event that you can think of can be comfortably accommodated within the town and surrounding area, from large-scale company conventions and expositions through to music festivals, family celebrations and even poetry readings.
Many of Ipswich's civic halls and public meeting spaces that are available for hire are also of substantial historical interest. As one of the longest-established settlements in East England, the town is steeped in antiquity, particularly around the recently-gentrified dockside district.
Here, you'll find many restaurants and galleries that are perfect for smaller meetings and exhibitions, offering the benefits of intimacy and superb service in surroundings of genteel elegance.

Another of Ipswich's main attractions for those who are organising a meeting, festival or other gathering is the townspeople themselves. Ipswich and its neighbouring villages have a reputation as one of the friendliest places in England, with a deserved reputation for openness and hospitality. When you book a venue in the town, you'll find the same consistently-high standard of personal attention and care from staff at all levels, ensuring that your event is a success.
From large scale events such as corporate expo's and conventions, through artistic gatherings like music festivals to more intimate family-orientated gatherings such as weddings and funerals, you'll find what you're looking for at one of these great Ipswich venues.
