The Sweet Treat Food Festival is returning to The Cornhill in Ipswich, Suffolk, on Saturday, 28 March 2026. This free, family-friendly event will take place from 10 AM to 4 PM and features local businesses selling a wide range of desserts and sweets.
The festival is run by Sweet Treat Food Festival Ltd, which was named Event Planner of the Year at the Suffolk Business Awards in 2025. Visitors can expect to find traditional confectionery, cultural bakes, and options specifically created for people with different dietary needs.
This event is supported by All About Ipswich and the Ipswich Borough Council as part of a plan to encourage residents to spend more time in the town centre. The festival provides a dedicated space for small-batch food makers and offers a low-cost day out for the local community.
Originally started in Colchester in 2024, the festival has since expanded to other towns including Woodbridge and Romford. Organisers aim to showcase local bakers and dessert makers who might otherwise be missed at larger food events.
