The Museum is now Closed for the Winter - See you in April 2024!

The Long Shop Museum aims to keep alive the industrial heritage of East Suffolk; from the manufacturing cathedral that is the Long Shop itself, to the stories and achievements of the people whose skill and effort turned a Suffolk coastal market town into a Victorian engineering powerhouse.

Please explore the website to learn more about the history and legacy of the Long Shop, and what you can expect when you visit.

The Long Shop is an independent museum that is run by a registered charitable trust. All the money from ticket sales, from merchandise purchases, and from fundraising goes into preserving and developing the museum and its collections. You can also support our work by donating - we use the Just Giving platform which means that every penny that you donate reaches us.

Thank you for your support
