Cemetery Ghost tour was entertaining and very worthwhile - Molly was our tour guide and she shared a great deal of knowledge regarding the history of the area, and stories about the characters buried in the cemetery. It was very entertaining and I highly recommend the tour for both singles and families. <3

A great experience give it a try - Had a great night and Molly was a fantastic host with lots of knowledge and great stories .I was joined by my 12 and 13 year old Grandsons and they thoroughly enjoyed the night. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of doing it . It certainly a different way of seeing a part of Ipswich you may see every day and just go past.

Hearing the stories and... - Hearing the stories and exploring the cemetery. Reading the old tombstones gave us a glimpse into the lives of people who are long gone and their story to help keep them alive.
