Give the gift of Ipswich.

Launched in Winter 2021, the Ipswich Gift Card is unique gift card scheme that can be spent in a range of restaurants, shops, theatres, cinemas, attractions and small businesses across the town centre.

Gift cards can be purchased at www.ipswichgiftcard.com, with any amount from £5 to £500 then sent to a friend, relative or colleague. The cards can be downloaded to phones or emailed to the recipient, then added to digital wallet apps such as Apply Pay and Google Pay. Alternatively, customers can choose a physical card to send.

The scheme uses the Town & City Gift Cards platform, managed by UK fintech Miconex, who operate in over 60 towns and cities across the UK including Cambridge, Leicester, Bath, Sheffield, York, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. The Ipswich Gift Card can only be redeemed in the town and is a local alternative to similar schemes operated by on-line retailers such as Amazon or ASOS.
