What they're saying: "Following the success of our wedding fayre at Ipswich Town Hall earlier this year, we wanted to showcase another of our stunning venues – the historic Christchurch Mansion," said Councillor Carole Jones, Ipswich Borough Council Portfolio Holder for Planning and Museums.

"Set in the beautiful surroundings of Christchurch Park, the Tudor mansion is unique – a venue like no other," she added.

For vendors: Suppliers interested in exhibiting are encouraged to register, as spaces are limited, and only a select number of each supplier type will be chosen to participate.

The bottom line: Free tickets can be booked in advance.
