About this Event

Discover Southend's Grade I listed heritage gem, after hours at Prittlewell Priory.


One of the oldest buildings in Southend, Prittlewell Priory has seen over 800 years of local history. Beginning life as a medieval Cluniac priory, before becoming a private Tudor house and then Victorian family home, the site is now a Grade I listed visitor attraction and surrounded by one of the city's most popular parks.

Join Southend Museums’ Verna Ring from 6pm on 21 May for a complimentary drink, before delving into the forgotten, fascinating and occasionally fantastical history of one of the city’s most treasured heritage gems, from monks, martyrs, millionaires and everything in-between, as part of our 'museum lates' series.

Doors open at 6pm, with half an hour for exploring the building. The tour begins at 6:30pm, lasts approximately an hour, and the event finishes by 8pm.

Prebooking is essential. This event is 18+ only. FAQs below.
