Tudor World

Step back in time at Tudor World for a family day out in Stratford-upon-Avon

Tudor World stands as a distinctive and quaint independent museum housed within an original Tudor property nestled in the heart of Stratford upon Avon. As the sole museum in the country dedicated to the Tudor era, it distinguishes itself by eschewing artefacts and period furniture in favor of immersive recreations depicting various aspects of Tudor life.

These exhibits are intertwined with captivating narratives detailing the rich history of the building itself, which traces its origins back to the birth of the town in the late 12th century, as well as the broader history of Stratford upon Avon. Situated along the only remaining cobbled street in Stratford, the museum's very location exudes historical charm

This living history museum brings to life the sights, sounds, and stories of the past in an authentic recreation of the time of Tudors. Whether it's the six wives of the infamous Henry the Eighth, the prosecutions of Bloody Mary, the "golden age" of Elizabeth I's reign or the emergence of William Shakespeare's plays, Tudor World covers all aspects of life in the Tudor ages.
