From banger racing to colouring on the Cornhill – here are five ways to enjoy the warm weather in Suffolk this bank holiday Monday.

World series rods are back in town - Foxhall Stadium, Ipswich

There is only one place for the family to go this bank holiday Monday and that's Foxhall Heath Stadium for an action packed race meeting in the Foxhall Bowl.

Turnstiles open at 12.30pm with racing commencing at 2pm.

The 'elite oval race cars' that are the National Hot Rods will be in town, joined by the equally competitive 2.0Ltr Hot Rods and the Whip St Motors Bangers.

The National Hot Rods return to Foxhall for the first time since Easter and with their World Championship coming up in early July, this is a huge point scoring opportunity before the big race.

With the 2.0Ltr Hot Rods, it's round eight of their Hoosier Tyres Series with around 40 cars in attendance. World Champion Damon Wellman is also booked to race.

For the Whip St Motors Bangers it will be another afternoon of fun, high speeds and lots of crashing action - just what you expect to see at a banger racing event.

Bank holiday banger racing at Foxhall is always full of drama and this meeting should be no exception.
