Art Eat Festival

Art Eat Festival was a two-day visual art and street food festival celebrating all things creative and delicious with taste, sight and sound sensations all along the 1 mile stretch of Ipswich Waterfront. The festival saw thousands of visitors from across Suffolk and East Anglia enjoy the vibrant, colourful, tasty, fun-packed and feel-good weekend. The festival was free and included two full days of music across 4 stage areas, 24 free art workshops, a diverse community performance programme, international food traders, outdoor bars as well as a funfair.

The project was made possible thanks to funding from The Arts Council England, The National Lottery Community Fund, the Women’s Centenary Fund, Stop Loan Sharks and generous support from a number of local sponsors including Ipswich Borough Council, Prettys Solicitors, Kent Blaxill, Healeys Printers, Digital Growth Hackers, Isaacs on the Quay and Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. The project was also supported by the Association of British Ports, The University of Suffolk, Ipswich Central Business Improvement District, Ipswich Community Media, BBC Suffolk and Archant.
