22.01.2022 Hello All, With out stating the obvious, the museum will be closed until further notice. I am hoping to re-open the Museum last Sunday in September. COVID-19 just loves playing games. It is in everyone's interest that we follow the COVID-19 guidelines.... As soon as things settle down again, I will post an reopening date. So sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. Hope to see you all on the next open day?

14.01.2022 Good Day everyone. I am pleased to announce that the Ipswich Soldiers Memorial Hall Museum will be open this Sunday, October 25th - 9am till 3pm. Personal guided tours will be available. The idea of the guided tour is to inform you of the history of this magnificent building and to take any questions that you may have. The building turns 100 years of age in 2021. There is so much history in this museum, most of it from local people. Please remember to social distance, wash yo...ur hands (hand sanitiser provided), fill out our COVID-19 register (contact tracing) and most of all, enjoy your visit. Entry will only be through the Nicholas St entrance due to COVID-19 restrictions. There is plenty of parking space available. Entry is free. Hope to see you then. See more
