When visiting Ipswich, why not pop in to the Ipswich Tourist Information Centre, located in the heart of Ipswich in the stunning medieval church of St Stephen’s.

Our friendly team are only too happy to share their expert local knowledge of attractions, travel information, places to eat, shops, events and Ipswich secrets that you just can’t miss whilst you’re here. As well as our friendly personal service, we also offer a variety of free information leaflets, maps and guides to make the most of your visit to Ipswich and the beautiful county of Suffolk.

We also have a fantastic shop selling Ipswich and Suffolk souvenirs, maps and guides, gifts, cards and calendars, books and locally produced food; as well as selling tickets for local attractions, river cruises, walking tours, theatre tickets, events and much more.
