Housed in a beautiful 17th-century building, the architecture has a cosy, old-world character that sets the tone for what you’ll find within. The museum offers a surprisingly rich collection for its size. The displays cover everything from the Battle of Tewkesbury and local crafts to everyday life in the town over the centuries. The exhibits are laid out in a simple but engaging way in different rooms. It’s a lovely stop if you enjoy local history, unique buildings, or just want to get a feel for Tewkesbury’s past. Also, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to share insights or answer questions. The entry is free of charge and donations are accepted. · via Google [Bill Robson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105015090064551393860/reviews) ★★★★★ The Ashmolean visit is becoming a distant memory. I no longer feel the need to compare this to that so I can report that I enjoyed visiting Tewkesbury museum. One thing which does bother me is the very offensive use of the 'C' word. I hear the 'C' word in a lot of places on my travels and it makes me cringe. After entering the museum the lady in attendance told me it was run by volunteers, and then she dropped the 'C' bomb. "We rely on........ contributions." I nodded and smiled 😃 in her direction then visited each room. I tried to hurriedly sneak out when I was done but I was no more than six feet past her desk, exit door in view, when she exclaimed "thank you", knowing full well that I hadn't put my hand in my pocket. Almost ruined my day! · via Google [Brian Morgan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102272441069158695258/reviews) ★★★★★ A small free entry museum that has an interesting model fairground and a very detailed account of the battle of Tewkesbury with a very good model of the battlefield layout. Other items of local interest over three floors. · via Google [Tracy Matthews](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117300588394095388749/reviews) ★★★★★ A museum full of the history of Tewksbury. From prehistoric to modern times. The animatronic fairground is incredible, the effort put into it was mindblowing. That alone is worth a visit. Then upstairs is a room for the historic Battle of Tewksbury with a model of that battle. There are items to see in every nook and cranny so don’t skim the rooms. Very interesting place and a beautiful building in itself. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487102ae471eeee3:0xfe508133efc1aadb!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 64 Barton Street, Tewkesbury, GL20 5PX [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.9926077%2C-2.1553183) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.4 / 5 (143 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** No **Destination** Tewkesbury [More attractions in Tewkesbury](https://staycation.co.uk/tewkesbury/attractions) ★ 4.4 (143 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.tewkesburymuseum.org/index.html?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01684 292901](tel:01684292901) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Tewkesbury **Postcode** GL20 5PX **Plus Code** 9C3VXRVV+2V [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487102ae471eeee3:0xfe508133efc1aadb!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487102ae471eeee3:0xfe508133efc1aadb!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487102ae471eeee3:0xfe508133efc1aadb!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Tewkesbury Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
