Extra Time Long Shop Museum Creative Activities

Did you know that Garretts set up a sports club for its workers, including several football teams?

Come and make your own football character, based on photographs in the Museum, and add your face to the Extra Time Supporters Club.

Suitable for all ages and free to attend, these are drop-in activities so there’s no need to book, just come along and join in the fun.

What is Extra Time?

With a flourish of mascots, rattles and scarves, Extra Time brings on our intergenerational teams to share their personal experiences of the beautiful game.

From wearing the teams’ colours and singing the songs to always buying a programme or sitting in the same chair during a match, football is full of rituals and traditions; by bringing different generations together, both face-to-face and through linked activities, our aim is to discover, share and celebrate some of these personal stories.

Extra Time is a partnership project with Suffolk Archives. It is made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund – Thanks to National Lottery Players. It is also funded through Lowestoft Rising and the Association for Suffolk Museums.
