Tudor World
Discover the rich history of Tudor England at Tudor World in Stratford-upon-Avon. Step into the past through immersive exhibits and authentic surroundings that bring sixteenth-century England to life.
Tudor World is a living-history attraction in Stratford-upon-Avon that recreates daily life in sixteenth-century England. The museum places visitors inside authentic Tudor scenes, from dining at an Elizabethan table and lounging in a four-poster bed to sitting on a ceremonial throne. Exhibits cover social and cultural topics of the period, including taverns, domestic life, disease and public health, and the contrast between common homes and elite households. Tudor World offers a Museum Admission experience that focuses on hands-on displays and immersive interpretation suited to families, history enthusiasts and school groups.
In addition to museum displays, Tudor World runs guided experiences that connect Shakespearean history with local heritage. The Shakespeare Walking Tour of Stratford is led by an actor portraying William Shakespeare and visits key sites tied to his life, from the birthplace area to his final resting place. That tour blends storytelling, architecture and historical context to illuminate Shakespeare’s world.
Tudor World also presents evening paranormal programming in an authentic setting. A Halloween Séance is hosted in a historic 16th-century building and features a seasoned medium conducting a guided séance. The venue lists a Ghost Tour as part of its seasonal or special-event offerings.
Staff and presenters at Tudor World include actors and experienced interpreters who use period detail and performance to educate and entertain visitors. The attraction is located in Stratford-upon-Avon, providing direct access to Shakespeare-related sites and Tudor architecture. Opening hours, ticket details and seasonal schedules are published on official listings for accurate visitor planning and group bookings.
