Woodbridge Riverside Trust hosts the construction of a full-size replica of the Sutton Hoo Royal Burial Ship in The Longshed – where visitors can view progress. The Longshed is also the home of an amazing “Tapestry” project which is ongoing and being produced by many dedicated and clever needleworkers. The quays were an important trade hub for Woodbridge, with the Tide Mill producing flour from local wheat for distribution to London as well as nearby villages.
Woodbridge Museum tells the story of Woodbridge and its surrounding area by focusing on the lives of a selection of local people, from Tudor times to the present-day. The Tide Mill, built in 1793, continues to mill grain and sell flour, providing visitors with a glimpse into the industrial past of Woodbridge. The Sea Scouts provide a wide variety of experiences for young people.
There’s a lot to see, a river walk, many interesting birds and plenty of places to stop for drinks, a snack or main meal there's even an opportunity to catch members of the Model Boat Club on the pond.
Working with the Town Council, improved signage guiding visitors to the waterfront has been positioned at key points.
Woodbridge Historic Riverside offers lots of events and topics, from talks at Woodbridge Museum, and in The Longshed’s Gallery, to milling demonstrations at the Tide Mill and, of course, the building of a full-size replica of the Sutton Hoo Burial Ship!
Events and special displays will be shared on the members’ social media channels. Woodbridge Historic Riverside is an exciting and entertaining area for all the family.
