Guide to Suffolk’s Best Antique Shops

An antique shop is a collector’s best friend. If you want to try and grab some vintage memorabilia, antique jewellery or art, and so much more when staying at our Barns and Barges for rent, we have got you sorted, with some of the best antique shops within Suffolk.

Risby Barn Antique Centre – Risby

Within a 16th century barn, you will find Risby Barn Antique Centre. Within this centre, 34 dealers are on hand selling a wide array of collectibles and antiques, ranging from the Victorian era upwards. With so many different types of antiques on offer, there is something for everyone, ranging from books, to glassware, and furniture. And, once antique hunting is over, make sure to stop and get a bite to eat from The Nook Coffee Shop, which offers a wide range of teas, coffees and light bites. 

Yoxford Antique Centre – Yoxford

If you’re out and about in East Suffolk, Yoxford Antique Centre is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Whether or not you’re an antique collector, there will be something that will catch your eye, thanks to the large selection, from toys, furniture, jewellery and books. And, to prevent shopping on an empty stomach, why not pop into the café to enjoy refreshments and light bits. So, if you are out and about in East Suffolk, make sure to pop into Yoxford Antique Centre.

Melford Antiques, Interiors and Lifestyle Centre – Long Melford 

Situated in a Grade II listed former granary in the picturesque village of Long Melford, Melford Antiques contains every form of antique one could be after, across all four floors. Spanning from military to art to furniture, and a number of independent traders within the complex, there is something for everyone to acquire. Once all the antique hunting is over, why not enjoy a bite to eat at the Pullman Tea Room and Café?

Woodbridge Antiques

Found within the beautiful town of Woodbridge, Woodbridge Antiques is a quaint antique shop, specialising in jewellery, silverware, and gifts, such as for weddings and new babies. What’s more to love is that if you browse in store, and are not quite sure of your decision there, you can always order online from Woodbridge Antiques. With plenty of inspiration for gift ideas on their website, and plenty to look at in their store, Woodbridge Antiques is the perfect place to go to for antique shopping.

The Shed – Ipswich

The Shed is bursting at the seams with everything it has within. With four showrooms bursting with treasures and antiques for the home and garden, there is something for everyone. What’s more to love is that there is also a ladies boutique called SASS, and, if you are in need of some furniture being given a new lease of life, The Shed also offers ‘Upholstery by Ken,’ so you can keep your favourite items for longer. And, why not stay and visit Nora’s Tearoom, set in the 1940s, with a wide selection of food and drink.

Antique shopping is perfect for someone who is a collector, so why not pop into one of Suffolk’s best antique shops when staying at one of our Barns and Barges for rent.
