Everything you need to know about the Wild Walls Festival closing party this Saturday

Ipswich's Wild Walls Festival will wrap up on 5 October with a closing party at The Baths, featuring some of our town's top music talent.

The big picture: The event will cap off the four-week street art programme that has brightened up every corner of our town with new murals and street art, including the already-iconic "From Ipswich With Love" mural on the James Hehir Building.
