With so many different types of antiques on offer, there is something for everyone, ranging from books, to glassware, and furniture.

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.

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.

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.
