Tudor House is Southampton's oldest museum, set in a timber-framed building dating from the late 15th century in the heart of the Old Town. Inside, you'll discover over 800 years of history, and you can also explore King John's Palace, a Norman house reached through the garden. It suits visitors of all ages, with family-friendly activities and seasonal events such as ghost hunts running throughout the year. There's a shop and café on site too. It's open Mondays and Saturdays. The museum sits close to Southampton Town Quay station, just 0.3 miles away, and with 29 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it makes an easy addition to a stay in the city.
