Let the kids play, as your grandparents played with old world games: – hopscotch, skipping, knuckles, stilt walking, tug-of-war, hoops and croquet.   Join in with the cook in the old-fashioned kitchen. Tour the museum and all the displays. Go to school with our School Ma’am (mind your manners!). Create a collage together or make yourselves a peg doll and delve into the industrial side and watch blacksmiths making tools and ornaments. And complete some chores by doing the washing with the laundry maid.

Visit the Historical Motorcycle Club, the Genealogical Society, and the Spinners, Weavers, Fibre Artisans of Ipswich.  Marvel at the tiny scenes created by the Ipswich Mini Crafters.
