Free shuttle bus services will be provided for the Suffolk County Christmas Fair 2024.
After last year's event saw thousands of attendees and many others unable to secure tickets, the event organiser, Prestige County Events, has implemented the shuttle bus system to ensure all attendees can enjoy the fair, reduce entry time and minimise traffic disruption.
The fair is being held at Hintlesham Hall near Ipswich from Friday, November 22 to Sunday, November 24.
Event organiser Darren Perry said: “As the ultimate Christmas shopping experience in Suffolk we are always looking at ways to improve visitor experience year on year so we put our heads together and decided adding a convenient and speedy shuttle service was one of the ways we could do this for the 2024 event."
The shuttle buses are in partnership with First Bus, which already runs a service from the Ipswich Park and Ride site.
The buses will operate from here, as well as Hadleigh Bus Station on Magdalen Road in the town centre, taking attendees to and from the fair.
The free shuttle services will run approximately every 10 minutes from each location directly to the venue, using both double and single decker buses.
