When filming is taking place, the film set is not open for visitors to explore.
Craft Demonstrations
Come and witness a past that is truly alive! We have working exhibits that, through craft demonstrations, show how they would have operated hundreds of years ago – experience blacksmithing, milling, spinning, Tudor cooking and more.

Living History: Victorian Showtime
Join us for three days of extraordinary Victorian showtime entertainment, as we are joined by Melford Hys Companie, as they showcase their Victorian Travelling Show.
See their collection of oddities as they bring to life their travelling show from the 1890s. Enjoy their extraordinary acts of daring, tales of the Empire, a doctor that can cure all ills and the delightful Gristle Sisters who are always on hand with a snack or a tea leaf reading.
The Museum is a non-smoking & no-vaping site.
