To kick off is the popular Ipswich Waterfront which is where many surprised passersby bumped into popstar Peter Andre.
The pop star's brother owns a barbers shop in the town and supported the shop since it opened in 2017.
With the draw of sitting and watching the world go by at a nearby eatery, it probably will not be the last time a famous face will be seen down at the waterfront.
2. Portman Road
