3:00pm – Scratch that competitive itch

You really cannot go wrong with the traditional night out at the movies, and HOYTS Ipswich turns the experience up a notch.
The experience starts the minute you walk through the door. First things first, grab your tickets to the hottest movie in town and choose your adventure – are you going to go for the D-BOX Motion Recliners, normal Recliners or Daybeds?

Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie.
Before 9pm – Call it a day with a sweet treat
There’s only one appropriate way to end the day, and that’s with a dreamy gelato in hand.
Open until 9pm from Sunday to Thursday and 9:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, Gelatissimo uses traditional gelato making techniques (with a side of obsession and imagination) to create the best tasting gelato with the help of their fresh, seasonal ingredients and indulgent inclusions to suit anyone’s sweet tooth.
Made in-store daily, their range includes vegan-friendly, made without dairy and made without gluten options to suit all – so make sure you stop by before heading home!
