A park in Ipswich played host to the launch of a festival coming to the town next month for the eleventh year.

One Big Multicultural Festival is set to return to Alexandra Park on July 23.

The event, organised by the BSC Multicultural Services (BSCMS), will see a host of activities run throughout the day.

People will be able to experience music, food and children's entertainment from around the world.

Mojlum Khan, organiser of the event for the past 11 editions, said: "We've got a packed programme this year, just as in previous years.

"We have people from all different backgrounds performing, African, Brazilian, Bangladeshi, European and here in Britain, so the stage performances will be very diverse and inclusive.

"It's unlike any other cultural event that takes place in Ipswich."

Boshor Ali, chairperson of BSC Multicultural Services, said: "This is the 11th year of this unique festival and it is taking place earlier this year and all are welcome.

"I am really looking forward to it."

The festival will run on Sunday, July 23 at Alexandra Park from midday to 5pm, and is free to attend.
