This page shares directions to the Think Tank, parking and travel information, and other useful information for visiting us.
OUR ADDRESS
THE THINK TANK, HIGH STREET, IPSWICH, SUFFOLK, IP1 3QH
The Think Tank is located between the Ipswich Museum and the Ipswich Art Gallery, set back from High Street and accessed by a short path.
TRAVELLING BY CAR
The closest public car park is NCP Tower Ramparts on Crown Street (IP1 3DH), which is open 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday.
The council-run Crown Street Car Park (IP1 3HS) also offers ample parking, just a couple of minutes walk away, and is open from 8am until 6.30pm (with a later closing time of 11.30pm on Friday and Saturday).
TRAVELLING BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
We are located 5-6 minutes walk from Tower Ramparts Bus Station, a hub for bus routes from all around Ipswich and the surrounding areas.
Ipswich is just over an hour away direct from London Liverpool Street via train and 40 minutes direct from Norwich. Trains run late enough to allow attendance at Think Tank events - check times before travelling. We are a 20 minute walk from the train station.
BOX OFFICE
Provided an event is not sold out, tickets will be available to buy on the door from 30 minutes before the event starts. We accept cash, card and contactless payments. Our box office is paperless, and we do not issue physical tickets.
BAR + CATERING
We operate a small bottle bar during events. If you are hiring the space for your own event, let us know if you would like to consult our list of recommended local caterers.
ACCESSING THE THINK TANK
The Think Tank has step-free access to all spaces. Registered assistance dogs are welcome. If an event is going to be crowded, loud, have flashing lights or adult content, we signpost that clearly in advance and on the door at each event. If you have any queries or wish to visit the space in advance of one of our events, please email kathryn@spillfestival.com or call 01473 216 545.
