Having tried and tested multiple 'family fun days' at Venue16 in the summer's, we decided that an official event was what the business and the local community of Ipswich really need.

So in 2023 we decided to rebrand our music day to 'Summer Soul Vibes' Festival, and since then we haven't looked back!

​Over the years we have managed to secure some of the biggest soul artists from across the UK and abroad, with the likes of Jaki Graham, The Brit Funk Association, Odyssey, Loose Ends, Trevor Nelson, The Brand New Heavies and Incognito all gracing our soul festival, located on the outdoor grounds of our venue, located at:

Venue 16 - 312 Tuddenham Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP4 3QJ
