Christmas Day is right around the corner with only five days left to go. 

Tomorrow is the final night of late night festive shopping in Ipswich in and around the Cornhill. 

Throughout December, Ipswich Central has organised festive entertainment as well as shops opening for longer on Thursday evenings. 

Take a look at some photos from our archive of late night Christmas shopping over the years.
