10 BEST PLACES TO
Visit in
Ipswich
Ipswich, Suffolk’s county town and the jewel in Suffolk’s crown, is
a glorious waterfront town and can be considered widely as the
‘Culture Capital’ of the region. Here’s our 10 best places to visit in
Ipswich all year round:
Ipswich Regent Theatre
The Ipswich Regent has been part of Ipswich for many years and
celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2019. Many famous acts have
performed on the Regent’s stage in its 90-year history. Now you
will find a variety of shows coming to the Regent throughout the
year, including top stand-up comedians, Strictly professionals,
pop stars and West End musicals. 2020 is an exciting year for
the Regent, with iconic musical ‘Priscilla Queen of the Desert’
coming to Ipswich in March and much more.
Ipswich Corn Exchange
The Corn Exchange is a historic building located right in the
centre of Ipswich. Both local and touring shows perform at the
venue, and it also hosts events such as Christmas parties. You’ll
find classical concerts, sport, comedy, music and more coming
to the Ipswich Corn Exchange.
Ipswich Museum
Discover history, wildlife and more across the two floors of this
historic Victorian building. Travel through Ancient Egypt in
Suffolk’s only Egyptology gallery, stand eye-to-beak with an
eagle in the Ogilvie British Bird Gallery or marvel at ship models
reflecting Ipswich’s maritime past. Plus, meet family favourites the
giraffe and Rosie the Rhino. Events for all ages are held regularly
at the museum, including family activities during the school
holidays. Toddler Takeover will return on 25 February and is a
day of free fun for little ones aged 0-4.
Christchurch Mansion
From intriguing toys in the Victorian nursey to paintings by
renowned Suffolk artists Gainsborough and Constable, there is
lots to see in this magnificent Tudor mansion. Discover furniture,
ceramics and more, all displayed in atmospheric period rooms.
Christchurch Mansion is situated in the stunning surroundings
of Christchurch Park and also hosts major temporary exhibitions,
