Representatives from the National Health Service were on hand to chat to the women and there were breast screenings and head massages throughout the day.
Traditional Bangladeshi food and clothes were available to buy and there were opportunities to learn more about the country's culture.
And Suffolk Police and the fire service were also on hand to talk to the women about their work and employment opportunities.
