Ipswich's All Dayer Festival: A Free Fiesta for Local Music Lovers!

A brand new music festival is set to take place in Ipswich, aiming to shine a spotlight on local and regional artists. The All Dayer Festival, organized by Brighten the Corners and Ipswich Central, will be held on 25 April and is completely free to attend. The event will be spread across several venues in the town centre, giving people a chance to explore different places while enjoying live music. Organizers say the festival will feature more than 40 artists and hope it will become an annual tradition that brings the community together.

The festival will use a variety of venues, including Three Wise Monkeys, CHIp Studios, Arcade Tavern, the Halberd Inn, The Thomas Wolsey, the empty Superdry unit in the Buttermarket Centre, and The Church, which is run by Brighten the Corners. The event is being supported by Ipswich Central, Arts Council England, PRS Foundation, and the University of Suffolk. The full line-up of artists will be announced soon, and local musicians are encouraged to apply for a chance to perform. This is a great opportunity for emerging artists to share their music with a wider audience and gain valuable experience.

Marcus Neal, who is the Head of Programming at Brighten The Corners, said he is proud to help support the creative community in Ipswich. He thanked Ipswich Central for their support and for helping connect the festival with so many great venues. Ipswich Central believes the festival will bring lots of visitors to the town, boost the local economy, and encourage people to check out independent businesses and venues. The All Dayer Festival is not just about music; it is also about supporting the town and its people.
