**Why it matters:** The event, run by Aspire Basketball, offers free entertainment for local families over the bank holiday weekend, with organisers hoping it will bring the community together through a day of fun.

**The details:** The Phoenix Community Fun Day runs from 10:00 to 15:00 at Chantry Academy on Mallard Way, Ipswich, IP2 9LR.

Activities include:

- Basketball
- Music
- Food and drink
- Face painting
- Stalls
- Bouncy castle

**What they're saying:** Ty Burnett, head coach at Aspire Basketball, said the club was founded on "the values of inclusivity, positivity and accessibility for all," adding: "Our Community Day echoes those sentiments. We want it to be a space for everyone to come together and shift the negative narrative around our community, seeing it through a positive lens.

"We want to bridge gaps between generations and create opportunities for local businesses and people to connect and grow and most importantly, have fun."

**The bottom line:** With free entry and something for all ages, the Phoenix Community Fun Day gives Ipswich families a chance to enjoy basketball, music and stalls together this bank holiday weekend.
