Welcome to Tudor World
Tudor World living history museum is situated right in the centre of the beautiful Town of Stratford upon Avon, just metres from the world famous RSC, and set within an historic 16th century grade 2* building.
Using historical settings, discover the secret lives of the Tudors and what life was really like during the time of William Shakespeare; Francis Drake; Elizabeth I, Henry VIII and everyday people.
Henry commands you to visit! Tudor World is a ‘must see’ visitor attraction with lots of things to do and lots of things to see. Why not wander around the museum? Or discover Stratford by joining William Shakespeare on a walking tour of the Town or take a spooky Ghost Tour of this most haunted Tudor building with one of our costumed characters and find out about the sinister side of Shakespeare’s Stratford? A great day out and something to suit everyone and every age!

The Museum
The museum is suitable for all ages, but you might wish to warn children there are figures in some of the exhibits to enhance the experience and atmospheric lighting.
There are lots of interactive elements: from a touchscreen; videos to choose from; smells to try; a feast to sit at; a throne to regally perch upon and a four poster bed to lie on. You can take part in a written witch trial; go in the stocks or try your hand at quill writing in the school room.
-
Shakespeare Tour
Master Shakespeare has come back through time and will guide you through his beloved town of Stratford upon Avon.
-
Ghost Tour
Ghost tours take place after the museum is closed and the lights switched off! The live guide will relate stories and sightings within the building by lantern light.
