We’ve all been there, you look out the window, see the grey Suffolk clouds, and the plans for a walk at the Marina or Christchurch Park go right out the window. But a rainy day doesn’t have to mean being stuck on the sofa!
If you’re looking to dodge the downpour, The Buttermarket Ipswich is your one-stop destination to stay dry, get fed, and have a brilliant time with the whole family. Here is how to make the most of your “indoor” day out.
Taste the Trend: Veganuary and Beyond
First things first – food. Whether you’re meeting friends or taking the kids out, the Buttermarket is packed with flavour.
Wagamama: If you’re taking part in Veganuary, you have to try their brand-new, viral-inspired dish: the Udonara. It’s a clever Japanese-Italian fusion that reimagines carbonara using thick udon noodles and a rich, creamy vegan sauce.
Prezzo: For those craving classic Italian comfort, you can’t beat a steaming bowl of pasta or a fresh pizza at Prezzo. It’s the perfect spot to watch the rain lash against the glass while you’re cosy and warm inside.
High-Energy Indoor Fun
Who says you can’t be active when it’s raining? The Buttermarket is basically an indoor playground for all ages.
Boom Battle Bar: Perfect for adults and older teens, you can get competitive with axe throwing, augmented reality darts, or even a round of “crazier” golf.
Superbowl UK: A classic for a reason! With 12 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, it’s a guaranteed win for family bonding. If the kids still have energy to burn, they can tackle the Ninja Tag assault course or head into the SEGA Prize Zone arcade.
A Little Retail Therapy
No trip to the Buttermarket is complete without a browse through the shops. Since you’re already out of the rain, why not see what treasures you can find?
TK Maxx: The ultimate “treasure hunt” shop. Whether you’re looking for a new designer handbag, quirky home decor, or some fresh winter layers, there is always a bargain waiting.
New Look: Pop in to check out the latest styles and treat yourself to a little wardrobe refresh.
