Prittlewell Priory Tour

Led by one of our Visitor Engagement Officers, this tour will take you on a journey through the varied history of one of Southend's oldest continuously occupied buildings. From its origins as a Cluniac monastery, through its centuries of private residence and culminating in its modern day use as Southend's first public museum, there are many stories to tell about this fabulous site.

Please note, due to the age of the building, Prittlewell Priory has some uneven floor surfaces in places. There is lift access to part of the first floor, however the Prior's Chamber is only accessible via a short set of steps. For more accessibility information please contact our team at [email protected]

These tours are free but must be pre-booked. If you enjoy your tour we would encourage you to donate what you can to help us to continue to deliver and improve our future offer. Please book the amount of tickets equal to the number of people in your group.
