Galvanized
Galvanized is the City of Ipswich’s festival of heritage, showcasing the best heritage experiences and events Ipswich has to offer across 11 days from 1 to 11 September 2022.
Be transported back in time by visiting iconic venues and historic sites and participating in open days, walking tours, demonstrations and workshops. Experience evening concerts and after-dark events at unique locations and gain access and insight into lost arts, forgotten trades and historic places.
Heritage Trails
Vintage Picture Ipswich postcards and postcards featuring George Brockwell Gill architecture will be available at Ipswich Libraries, Visitor Information Centre and key festival venues, while stocks last during Galvanized. Collect them all!
George Brockwell Gill has become synonymous with Ipswich architecture as many of the city’s iconic buildings are his work, produced over his 55-year long career.
The Postcards feature five key buildings with a QR Code leading to a virtual Heritage Trail, where you can map your own experience.
View the virtual Heritage Trail, featuring 12 Brockwell Gill architecturally designed buildings across the Ipswich CBD and surrounds.
