The Long Shop - Leiston image

The Long Shop Museum is an industrial heritage museum in the town of Leiston in the English county of Suffolk. The museum features the history of Richard Garrett & Sons who manufactured a wide range of industrial and agricultural machinery, steam engines, and electric vehicles. The museum also celebrates the social history of a rural community that grew to be central to the Industrial Revolution.

The Museum is housed in some of the remaining buildings of Garrett's Leiston Town Works. The centre-piece "Long Shop" was constructed in 1852 as the first purpose-built flow-line assembly workshop for the manufacture of portable steam engines. It consists of an open central area, and fitters' galleries on the level of the first floor. The building is a Grade II listed building.

How the Event Will Pan Out

Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect on the evening:

  • Arrival and Welcome: We kick things off with a welcome speech and a brief overview of the night.

  • Team Assignments: You'll be divided into smaller groups, each led by one of our experienced paranormal investigators. This ensures everyone gets a chance to explore and engage.

  • Investigation Sessions: Each group will rotate through different investigation areas. We'll be using a variety of equipment, from EMF meters to spirit boxes, to try and make contact. Our investigators will guide you through the process and explain how everything works.

  • Breaks: There will be breaks throughout the night. Your Group Leader will let you know when this is. There will be hot and cold drinks, as well as a tuck shop.

  • Lone Time: You may have the opportunity to have some alone time to explore your favourite parts of the location. This will depend on time and the location rules.

  • Debrief and Discussion: After the investigation sessions, we'll all gather back together to share our experiences, compare notes, and discuss any unusual occurrences.

  • Q&A: We'll then open the floor for any questions you might have for our team.
