The town will host a day of celebrations in May 6, with a big screen in place on the Cornhill to allow locals to watch coverage of the one-in-a-lifetime event from 10am.
There will be free face painting for kids, as well as food stalls. The Town Hall and Cornhill will be decked out in bunting.
After the Coronation draws to a close at 2pm, Roald Dahl's Matilda will be shown on the big screen.
The following day the Windsor Castle Coronation Evening Concert will be streamed to audiences on the Cornhill.
An Ipswich Borough Council spokesperson says: “Ipswich Borough Council is thrilled to support community events over the special May bank holiday weekend to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
We are encouraging the community to get involved with our events, but we’re also inviting the public to hold events in their neighbourhood to bring everyone together for the celebrations.”
