Tudor House Museum and Garden

About

Southampton’s most important historic building, Tudor House reveals over 800 years of history in one fascinating location at the heart of the Old Town.

The timber-framed building facing St Michael’s Square was built in the late 15th Century, with King John’s Palace, an adjacent Norman house accessible from Tudor House Garden, dating back a further 300 years.  Tudor House gives a unique and atmospheric insight into the lives and times of both its residents through the years, and of Southampton itself. It appeals to visitors of all ages and interests, who find the family-friendly activities, interactive technology and fascinating displays a winning combination.

 

The Tudor House Café, overlooking the authentic Tudor Knot Garden is open to all without paying for admission to the whole museum. The museum is open 10-5 weekends (and bank holidays) and 10-3 Tuesday to Friday.
