About this activity
Do you love history? Are you ready to LIVE history?
Tudor World is a great living history museum located right in the centre of the iconic Stratford upon Avon, all set within an historic 16th century Grade II building!
At this family friendly museum, kids can discover the secret lives of the Tudors, and learn all about what life was really like during the times of historic figures such as William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, Queen Elizabeth I, and Henry VIII!
Of course, you can learn what life was like for everyday people too!
What's also great about Tudor World is that the museum is run and owned by husband and wife team, as well as a dedicated team of part-time actors and enthusiasts, so you know you're in great hands!
The Tudor World museum is suitable for all ages, but you might wish to warn younger kids that there are figures in some of the exhibits that might be a little ominous to them as they are there to enhance the experience and atmospheric lighting.
There are lots of interactive elements within Tudor World that are always popular with the kids! They can find touchscreens, videos, Tudpr smells to try, a feast to sit at, and even a throne to regally perch upon!
They can even take part in a written witch trial, or go in the stocks! Others might like or try their hand at quill writing in the school room!
Tudor World also offer a Shakespeare Tour, as well as a Ghost Tour!
The Ghot Tour relates the history and the ghostly occurrences which have taken place within the actual building and all around Stratford upon Avon! This is suitable for the older children.
So kids, are you ready to actually step inside the history books and live like a Tudor? It's all there waiting for you at Tudor World!
