Event Description

Visit Upton’s town museum on three floors to explore Upton’s past and present and enjoy the award-winning garden. Free one-hour guided town history walks will be running both Saturdays and Sundays at 11.30am and 2pm. Enjoy family fun with a mouse trail, crafts and refreshments .

Upton upon Severn’s historic Tudor House Museum is situated near to Upton Bridge by the River Severn and has recently been refurbished. The museum is ready to welcome Heritage Open Day visitors on both weekends of the event, with guided walks departing at 11.30am and 2pm for a fascinating and informative one-hour tour of the town (level terrain, no hills). The guides will cover key historical features around the town, the Battle of Upton in 1651, the role that the river played in influencing trade, the floods, celebrated personalities and much more.

Then you are welcome to return and explore the eclectic delights of the Tudor House Museum and sit in the beautiful, tranquil garden, all lovingly cared for by a committed team of volunteers. There is a vast collection of local history, vintage pastimes and professions, themed displays and wonderful collections of old photographs, lace, glassware and Staffordshire Blue pottery to name just a few, spread around three floors – something for everyone of all ages.

The museum ground floor and garden are accessible for wheelchair users and there is an RNID hearing loop system in the reception area and large magnifying sheets available to read labels. Families will enjoy the mouse trail and craft table. Our lovely volunteers look forward to meeting you. Delicious homemade cakes and refreshments will be available.
