Prittlewell Priory Tour - Heritage Open Days

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 dissolution, centuries of private residence to its modern day use as Southend's first public museum, there are many stories to tell about this amazing heritage 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 HODs tours are free but must be pre-booked. Please book the amount of tickets equal to the number of people in your group. If you can no longer attend, please let us know as HODs tours are often very popular, and your place can be given to someone else.
