Ipswich City of Culture 2029

Be Part of Ipswich’s Cultural Future

We’re getting ready for something big, and we need YOU with us!
Ipswich is bidding to become the UK City of Culture in 2029, giving us a chance to transform our town through creativity.

From stages and storytelling to sport and shared experiences, we want to celebrate culture in all its forms. Whether its food, fashion, festivals or folklore, we will embrace the diverse ways we all come together to live, play and connect.

This is a huge opportunity to showcase our town and everything that makes it so special. We’ll champion our rich heritage and pioneering spirit, while imagining new possibilities, with young people at the heart of shaping plans and sparking change.
---------------------------------
"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to show the country what Ipswich is made of.”

MP Jack Abbott
---------------------------------
This is a key moment for everyone in the town to come together and co-write our next chapter. That’s why this bid and a new long-term vision for culture are being shaped side by side, led by the people who live, study, work and create here.
---------------------------------
“This is an opportunity to highlight everything that is good about Ipswich. It’s something we can all fully get behind.”

Mark Ashton,
Chairman at Ipswich Town FC
