Share your Memories - Ipswich's Old Town Hall

The Ipswich Art Gallery’s heritage-listed building has had many lives over its 164-year history, contributing to the life and character of its city. We are calling out to both current and former Ipswich residents, near-and-far, to share their stories of The Old Town Hall.

Memories of excited crowds, choir performances, department store excursions, and gallery visits are all welcome.

Selected stories will be featured alongside archival images of our heritage-listed building on the Ipswich Art Gallery social media and website as part of the Galvanized Festival.
