Go shopping in the town<br />
Wander through the high street and down the<br />
medieval cobbled side-streets and you will be able<br />
to find a wide selection of stores. Ipswich is home to<br />
High Street retailers and independent boutiques and<br />
businesses. There are two shopping centres filled with<br />
stores to explore; Buttermarket and Sailmakers. Now<br />
shop ‘til you drop!<br />
Visit the Ipswich Museum<br />
Take yourself on a journey through history and<br />
Ipswich’s past at the Ipswich Museum, packed full<br />
of thousands of years of history to discover from the<br />
Iron Age to the Romans and Saxons. It is home to the<br />
famous Wool-I-Am, (the Woolly Mammoth) and Rosie<br />
the Rhino, as well as other interesting things to see<br />
and explore for the first time. This museum is<br />
fascinating and unique — and completely free too!<br />
Discover Ipswich’s art<br />
Once you are finished at the Museum, you could even<br />
pop next door to the Ipswich Art Gallery, which hosts<br />
lots of exhibitions and workshops all year round. The<br />

showcases work from many local artists.<br />

Waterfront<br />

Isaacs and The Salthouse Eaterie. Pick your seat by<br />
the water’s edge, sip a refreshing drink and watch the<br />
world go by.<br />
Extend your visit<br />

down by the waterfront — a contemporary boutique<br />
hotel with an award-winning selection of food and<br />
drink, popular wine nights and beautiful views. The<br />
contemporary rooms offer great views and some with<br />
free-standing baths. It’s the perfect place to rest and<br />
