Hundreds are expected to visit the annual Christmas market in the heart of Ipswich this weekend. 

A festive market will take place this Sunday, November 26, in St Peter’s Street. 

In September, St Peter's Street hosted the Saints Heritage Fayre to mark Thomas Wolsey's 550th birthday.   

The event was run alongside a food, drink and craft market organised by Suffolk Market Events in Cutler Street.

Cathy Frost, the organiser of the market, said: “The Saints will once again host over 30 stalls selling a wide range of products from local artisans.  

“Many of the local independent businesses in the area will also be open. 

“It’s a great event to start your Christmas shopping, meet up with friends and support your local high street.”

The Christmas market will be running from 10am to 4pm in St Peters Street, close to Ipswich town centre. 

The event has regularly attracted huge crowds of people looking to buy Christmas gifts from Suffolk traders.
