Why it matters: The mural adds to the growing number of businesses supporting Ipswich's "turn the town pink" campaign ahead of Ed Sheeran's homecoming concerts next week.
The details: Tower Street Food Hall commissioned Ipswich-based artist Narin Naseri to create the Ed Sheeran mural, which was completed in under 10 days to celebrate the singer's Ipswich homecoming performances.
For context: The Tower Street Food Hall mural follows the unveiling of a large-scale Ed Sheeran portrait at the Buttermarket Centre yesterday, painted by internationally recognised artist Keith Hopewell as part of the same campaign.
What's happening: The artwork represents another example of local businesses getting involved in welcoming Ed Sheeran home, alongside the Town Hall and Willis building being lit up pink and pink bunting and window displays being installed around the town centre.
The bottom line: With 90,000 people expected to attend Ed Sheeran's concerts, businesses across Ipswich are finding creative ways to showcase the town and welcome visitors during the event.
