That's the question being asked by business organisation Ipswich Central, external, which is looking for volunteers with two hours or more a week to spare, to help people enjoy their visit to the town.
The Place Makers, as they'll be known, will be asked to help greet people as they explore the town centre, assist them with locating a great place to go for lunch and pointing out historical places of interest.
Sophie Alexander, operations manager, said: "New shops and restaurants are opening all the time in the town centre and it couldn't be a better time to get involved with promoting the town."
Clear intervals will allow temperatures to drop overnight, with a minimum temperature expected of 4C (39F).
Tomorrow will feel colder than today, with oubreaks of rain in the morning, brightening up in the afternoon with a mix of sunshine and showers. Top temperature: 11C (52F).

Experts say the vandalism of rare medieval wall paintings at a Suffolk church is more widespread than first thought.
The artwork at St Mary's at Brent Eleigh, which dates from the 13th Century, has been defaced, with masonry gouged-out and scraped away. It's estimated repair work will cost thousands of pounds.
Kevin Burch has been to the church, where he spoke to Reverend Carol Mansell:

Three-quarters of households in West Suffolk have so far opted out of paying to have their garden waste collected.
The £40 charge from both St Edmundsbury and Forest Heath councils came in on Monday, with nearly 56,000 households choosing not to have the collection - that's about one in four homes.
Both councils have issued a statement, thanking their customers for subscribing, and inviting anyone else who so wishes to sign up at any time.

Ipswich Town left-back Jonas Knudsen believes the side's defence has got better as the season has progressed.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe 23-year-old said: "In the beginning of the season maybe we let too easy goals go in. We know each other much better now and I feel comfortable in the back line with the three other lads."
While Town may have been lacking in the goals department recently, they've also been frugal in defence. With just five goals conceded in the last eight matches the Blues are looking solid at the back.

An environmental protection officer is questioning whether new legislation regarding microchipping of dogs will solve the issue of strays, due to the wording of the regulations.
Jo Hart, who works for Babergh and Mid-Suffolk councils, says not having your dog microchipped won't be an offence straight away.
"The offence will be if you are served with a notice by the authority requiring your dog to be microchipped, following passing through our doors," she said.
Last year just one in five of the dogs the councils picked up had been chipped.
