Forget checking the weather app every five minutes. Here is your ultimate guide to staying cool, dry, and thoroughly entertained at The Buttermarket Ipswich this summer.
Escape the Elements at Omniplex Cinema
Whether you are trying to hide from a sudden torrential downpour or desperately seeking a sanctuary of crisp, refreshing air conditioning, the Omniplex Cinema is your ultimate summer safe haven.
This summer is peak blockbuster season, meaning the big screen is packed with the year’s most anticipated movies. Grab a giant tub of popcorn, sink into a comfortable seat, and let yourself be transported to another world for a couple of hours. It’s the perfect way for families to kill a rainy afternoon or for film buffs to beat the midday heat.
Bring the Heat to the Lanes at Superbowl UK
If the kids are bouncing off the walls with pent-up school holiday energy, bring the competition to Superbowl UK.
Bowling is the ultimate all-weather equaliser. You can challenge the family to a strike-off, explore the flashing lights of the SEGA amusement arcade, or let the younger kids burn off some energy in the Crazy Club soft play area. It’s loud, it’s vibrant, and best of all, it’s 100% weatherproof.
Cool Down with Refreshing Summer Bites
Nothing helps you reset during a chaotic summer day quite like a great meal. If you’ve been melting out on the Ipswich high street, step inside and cool down with a refreshing iced drink or a fresh, vibrant dish.
Craving something light and cooling? Head to Wagamama for a bowl of refreshing ramen or fresh juices.
Need a sweet, chilled treat? Grab an iced coffee or a frosty blended drink to lower your temperature at Watts Cafe.
