Welcome to the greatest show ...well in East Anglia anyway! Four weekends of fun, that’s the format of the new-look Ipswich Arts Festival this summer.
W
e just love the annual Ip-art festival and this year it look as if there’s something for everyone – from Jessie J and The Vamps to a Big Top of cabaret and from the Indian Mela to McBusted. There is also Ipswich Music Day, an open-air screening of The Great Gatsby, the madcap Pantaloons’ History of Britain, silent cinema and classical music treats. And for the first time, Ip-art will kick off with a town centre celebration – a weekend of film, a summer market, a Suffolk pride parade and Benjamin Bloom with his unique take on musical theatre. Ip-art is organised by Ipswich Borough Council and its partners and runs from Friday 20th June to Sunday 13th July. It is a festival for the people - the biggest cultural event in Suffolk - and there is plenty booked up between the four weekends to make it more special than ever. Gordon Mole, the Council’s Head of Cultural Services, said: “We have put together a festival for the family designed to attract people from Ipswich and all over the region. This year it is based around four special weekends but there is plenty for everyone in between. Clearly, with names
34
like McBusted and Rizzle Kicks, we have stepped up a level but we have other favourites such as Global Rhythm and sensational classical pianist Noriko Ogawa. Ip-art has established itself as the biggest arts festival in the region and this year we are expecting to welcome up to 150,000 visitors. This is a festival for the people … come an be part of it.” Ipswich Music Day remains as one of the pillars of the festival. Now in its 23rd year, Music Day is the biggest free one-day outdoor festival in the UK. Fifty thousand fans will flock to the park from noon to 8pm to see old friends perform and find some new favourites. Some of the young stars of the future will play at the Ed Sheeran Stage, sponsored by Suffolk One sixthform college. Ed made his stellar breakthrough after appearing at Music Day in 2010 and was keen to lend his name to the festival. So, if you want to hear acts like Zoe & The Pulse, Horse Party, Martha B and Albion Mills, head to the park on 6th July.

shopping
the acres of space (some 20,000 feet). It’s a little bit nostalgic as you sense the authenticity of the 150 year old Malthouse you are in. Some would liken it to an English version of the much loved Anthropolgie stores with no hint of twee.
T
hey seem to have created something unique: a shopping destination that draws together beautifully crafted English furniture with plump sofas, exclusive linens,
handmade soft furnishings, vibrant Fairtrade items, unique vintage pieces and locally designed products. Everything I saw there epitomises affordable quality. The plus side of here is that you can soak it all up, leave with no more than a £2 wooden spoon and still feel like you’ve had a satisfying day out. You have to admire the energy that has gone into it converting these once industrial Maltings into a place one always wants to return. For such a vast array of
buildings, some 7 acres on a 21 acre site, it is suprising to learn that such a small team make it all happen. There is no doubt they are championing the cause for independently owned and operated business. What is very evident is that they seem to have fun doing it with their creative displays like the chandeliers of glass bottles and colourful tea cups. Whatever they are doing, it seems to set them apart from the competition. n

2014 home trends
Keeping up with the pros Sous-vide, blast freeze, vacupack... seems you need a whole new vocabularly to follow cooking shows these days, along with professional equipment if you want to replicate the recipes at home. But now, appliances only seen before in professional kitchens, are becoming available to the domestic market thanks to KitchenAid.
We had a quick demo with the Sous-Vide system at the Anglia Factors showroom. First vacupacking and steaming (shown here), then we made an almost instant granita: puréed, sieved raspberries in a freezer bag with mint and sugar syrup, in to the blast freezer for 10 minutes then scraped with a fork. Hey presto!
1. The appliances can fit stylishly into your kitchen plan. Here the blast freezer sits above the vacuum packer. The vacuum packer slides closed, flush with the other appliances.
2. The blast freezer looks like an ordinary oven until you take a closer look at the control panel.
3. The ‘vacupacker’ extracts all the air from the bag, enabling cooked foods to be stored for longer.
4. Vacuum-packed food in the purpose made plastic bags. There are different bags for freezing, sealing, refrigerating and cooking.
5. ‘Vacupacked’ meat goes in to the steam oven for low heat cooking to retain all the flavour of the food. You will not believe the difference in flavour!
If you would like more information on KitchenAid Sous-Vide appliances visit www.angliafactors.co.uk or call 01473 610192 to book a demo.
