Tudor World
About This Museum
Did you know that in the 16th century, people genuinely believed in fairies? That's the kind of delightful, humanizing history you'll stumble upon at Tudor World. Nestled right in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, this isn't a stuffy gallery but a place where the past feels alive and buzzing with stories. You can explore a recreated tavern, smell the herbs in an apothecary's shop, and even hear whispers of local gossip from the era. It’s an immersive dive into the everyday lives of Tudors, magic and all.
Collection Highlights
The Fairy Folklore exhibit is a real gem, exploring those deep-rooted superstitions. Don't miss the recreated schoolroom where you can try writing with a quill, or the Glove Maker's workshop—a nod to Shakespeare's own father.
Visitor Information
You'll find it tucked away at 40 Sheep Street; it's easy to walk right past the unassuming facade, so keep an eye out! It’s perfect for families, as most exhibits are hands-on and designed to captivate kids and adults alike.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a wonderfully creaky, timber-framed building from the period, all low beams and uneven floors that you can feel under your feet—it’s genuinely half the experience.
