At Reed Digital, we are proud to be one of the official supporters for the Ed Sheeran Made in Suffolk auction. Organised by Gina Long MBE, the Founder of GeeWizz Charity, and Ed Sheeran’s parents, John and Imogen, the Ed Sheeran Made in Suffolk auction aims to raise funds for the GeeWizz Charity and its co-beneficiary Zest, which is part of St Elizabeth Hospice.

As well as backing the Ed Sheeran auction as a sponsor, we have also donated a print signed by the musician himself. Other items pledged include highly personal and collectable memorabilia from Ed Sheeran and his family such as handwritten lyrics.

Not only are there some “Perfect” Christmas present ideas, but you’ll also see a collection of ‘money can’t buy items’ to bid on.  From José Pizarro’s exclusive dining experience for 10 at his home to having a pub in your back garden with over 100 pints courtesy of Greene King, there is a lot to choose from.

Proceeds will go to funding two life-enhancing projects to support children and young people with high dependency disabilities or incurable illnesses.

Ed Sheeran: Made in Suffolk Legacy Auction aims to raise funds to redevelop a playground at the Thomas Wolsey Ormiston Academy in Ipswich, where students are aged 3-16 with physical, medical and/or sensory needs and associated learning difficulties.  It also aims to help Zest fund a specialist nursing team, including learning disability and palliative care nurses and physiotherapists.

As you may already know, this weekend will see a 4 day extravaganza from the one and only Ed Sheeran in Chantry Park in Ipswich, Suffolk.

Ed is local to the area, and tickets are selling fast for this once in a lifetime show. You can see him performing from 23^rd August to 26^th August, supported by The Darkness and Lewis Capaldi.

Due to the enormous popularity of this musical legend, his father and local council member John Sheeran has decided to create a very special exhibition.

From today (20^th August 2019) to 3^rd May 2020, you can visit the “Ed Sheeran Made in Suffolk” exhibition at Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich.

We were one of a small handful of very lucky businesses to be asked by Ipswich Borough Council to help with the creation of some of the wall graphics and photographic prints.

Our own handy work will be shown in the main gallery alongside an original painting by Damian Hurst,  portraits by Colin Davidson, photographs by Mark Surridge and memorabilia from Ed’s Family.

You can find out more about the exhibition via the Made in Suffolk website:
