Tewkesbury Heritage & Visitor Centre

AttractionsFamily Fun

Situated right at the heart of the town, the Heritage & Visitor Centre is the perfect place to start your visit to Tewkesbury. As well as a journey through the town’s history in the beautifully-restored 17th century building, the Visitor Centre team is on hand to help you with every element of your trip.

A self-guided tour around the Heritage Centre will take you through the history of Tewkesbury’s earliest settlers, give an insight into the Wars of the Roses and the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471, reveal the town’s links to the Civil War, show how the industrial revolution affected the commercial prosperity of the community before bringing you back to the present day.

Information panels guide you through the story of Bartholomew Read, one of the previous owners of the building. For children, there are games and activities including battle top trumps and embossing machines.
