We love our town

We built this for you.
For me.
For every starving artist.
For every almost-there dreamer.
For every drunken genius
For every midnight poet.
For every karaoke rock star.
For every hero behind a counter.
For every parent running on empty.
For every builder dusted in plaster.
For every driver stuck in traffic.
For every postman in the rain — especially Wayne.
For all our neighbours who put up with us (and hug us) every day.
For every irreplaceable character that makes living in this town so groovy baby!

We built this for you, Ipswich —
simply because we love you.

.… mostly

because we believe in you.

we support small bussiness

We support small independent businesses, artists, makers and grassroots projects across Ipswich by offering free promotion, brand marketing & community visibility through this platform.
We share skills, spotlight local work, and offer support without the incentive of profit.
By connecting people, and supporting each other we aim to strengthen the fabric of our town.
If you’d like your business, project or idea featured — or simply want a conversation about how we can collaborate or support — please get in touch.

WHO are we?
And just what the WA!?! is going on here?

Fair question.
Unfortunately, Wild Assembly is not a secret society.
We don’t have a headquarters in a volcano and we’re (tragically) not funded by any mysterious billionaires

We are, however, a group of unordinary people — with bold untamable, and admittedly, questionable ideas…

This, being one of them.
