How the hall was made

The exhibition around the hall tells you how it was built as you wander around. Great for when children are learning about Tudor times at school.

What to look out for

Look out for the wibbly-wobbly floors, the Tudor toilets, spiral staircases and our feathered friends out on the moat. Our ducks go above and beyond to make our visitors feel welcome, you might even find them sat on your feet!
