Toboganning Fun at Ipswich!

26/08/2026 - 26/08/2026

9:30am - 5pm

Meet at SU Reception

If you want the chance to try something fun, fast and fabulous then tobogganing has to be it!

Our Swiss Bob toboggans are great fun, and are used on a safe carpeted slope away from the ski slopes, close to the ski lodge in Ipswich!

"but wait... how will I get to Ipswich?" I hear you ask

"Where even IS Ipswich?!" I hear you cry

HAVE NO FEAR - we're sorting that of course!

Just come and meet at SU reception on Sq 4, we will sign you in and then lead everyone up to the SU minibus for the 30 minute drive to Ipswich! Easy right?

Secure your place NOW!

HELMETS ARE COMPULSORY FOR TOBOGGANING

What you need to bring!

GLOVES – Gloves are essential for tobogganing so please bring some along with you – we do have some for purchase if you forget!
LONG SLEEVES & TROUSERS – Not essential but we do recommend that arms and legs are covered, as you can swerve and roll off the toboggans.
CHANGE OF CLOTHES or WATERPROOFS – the toboggans run better in wet & rainy conditions so we recommend a change clothes or waterproofs as you may get wet.

We will be sending out waviers to sign and return as well!

any questions then please email suengagemen@essex.ac.uk
