A protest is being planned ahead of a rally for Nigel Farage's Reform Party in Ipswich later this month.
The counter-protest has been organised an hour before the rally gets underway, with Farage and other members of Reform UK taking to the stage at Trinity Park Conference and Events Centre in Felixstowe Road, from 7pm onwards on Monday, March 23.
The rally is being held ahead of the newly reinstated local elections to Ipswich Borough Council and Suffolk County Council which will take place in May.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage MP said: “I’m coming to Suffolk because your community deserves better than the managed decline delivered by Labour and the Conservatives."
Voters will elect 16 councillors, one third overall, to take up seats at Ipswich Borough Council on Thursday, May 7 whilst all available seats at Suffolk County Council are up for re-election.
Elected councillors to both council's will not sit for full terms, with the council's set to be replaced with new unitary authorities from May 2028.
