In addition to the Christchurch Mansion and Ancient House, Ipswich in the 21st century has some important cultural buildings including the [[New Wolsey Theatre]] and the [[Regent Theatre, Ipswich|Regent Theatre]]—the largest theatre venue in East Anglia where, in 1964, [[the Beatles]] performed when it was still known as the Gaumont.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.beatlesbible.com/1964/10/31/live-gaumont-cinema-ipswich-2/|title=Live: Gaumont Cinema, Ipswich|date=31 October 1964|publisher=The Beatles Bible|access-date=4 June 2023}}</ref> There is also the [[Corn Exchange, Ipswich|Corn Exchange]] in King Street which was completed in 1882.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1374819|desc=Corn Exchange|access-date=4 June 2023}}</ref>

Holy Trinity Church by the waterfront is one of the few churches in the country which was built during the reign of William IV and whilst the outside looks plain, the interior is quite spectacular.
