    There was a very pleasant lady on the entrance to welcome you. Entry is free. It was very interesting to see how they lived in tudor times. And the kids loved the rat hunt.

    Educational visit enjoyed both by adults and children alike esp the interesting outdoor machinery in backyard very authentic and the pre war kitchen brought back alot of memories for our residents giving lots of opportunities for reminiscing. Everyone enjoyed the weaving exhib and complete contrast of the old school dentist methods made some laugh and cry in jest. Lovely cafe and enthusiastic staff very helpful. Free entry

    It was free to enter when I visited with my 17 year old son. There is a lot to see across the five rooms over two floors. The building itself is a beautiful Tudor building that, like the area around it, defies the fact that it's in the middle of a city. It was interesting to read about Worcester's history. It is free to enter but there are donation boxes if you wanted to make a donation. There is also a little cafe there (I didn't go in there so can't comment on it). Tudor House Museum has a lot of narrow stairs so may be difficult/impossible for those with physical disabilities. However, the downstairs parts are accessible (although not very spacious).

    I really enjoyed it. There were plaques on the walls telling you about everything. If you had any questions there were a couple of guides to answer them for you. The best thing entry was free.

    The building is fascinating with interesting architectural features. The exhibits illustrating the varied history of the rooms are excellent. The guide at the entrance was especially helpful and pleasant. We didn't try the tearoom. If you wish to donate it may be done via contactless card payment.

    Wonderful free museum in Worcester, not far from forgate railway station. donations are welcome but it's free to enter, cafe in the grounds/toilets, lifts to upper floors , disabled friendly. Brilliant small local museum run by the local city council. History events during the year, February part of Worcester history weekend.

    Entry cost is a request for a donation and was worth every bit of the donation. Lovely, friendly and knowledgeable stewards. Lovely little look around with lots of information boards and things to see. Lovely little tea room attached.

    Best cake on street - good tea. Too many distractions for staff dealing with needs. No proper internet for customers. Polite and ambient, excellent venue for a small celebratory gathering - but would nee two weeks' notice and agreed menu.

    Interesting little town house. Free to enter. Details of clothiers. Great place to take young children. Nice coffee shop.

  • 2/5 Elaine H. 9 months ago on Google
    Tea room poor. Three tables hadn’t been cleared when I got in and still hadn’t when I left. No one behind the counter, had to wait about 5 mins before anyone appeared.ordered a quiche and salad. The salad was just salad leaves and a very small pot of coleslaw. The pastry on the quiche was very thick and hard. Had to wait again at the counter to pay my bill. Poor service.
