Group bookings at Greyfriars

Group Visits – Guided Tours

We welcome group bookings for guided tours from March to December, Tuesday to Saturday (excl. bank holiday weekends). All tours last approx. 60 minutes. We recommend a group visit lasts about 2 hours, which includes a full guided tour of the house, time to chat to your guide, and time to relax in the garden and café.

To ensure we can provide the best possible experience, groups of 7 or more must book in advance by contacting greyfriars@nationaltrust.org.uk to request a booking form or calling us on 01905 23571. Please note, any group bookings for more than 16 people will need to be split into separate tours e.g., a group of 32 is divided into two tours of 16.

Guided tours are free for National Trust members, or we offer a Group Ticket for £10.45 (Adult 18+) or £5.23 (Child 5–17) per person for non-members.

Group Visits – Topic Talks

We have a selection of ‘Topic Talks’ available for groups of 10–15 max. Talks for groups of 10–15 must be booked directly via the property office (please do not book a talk for your group via the Events pages online). ‘Topic Talks’ last approx. 45 minutes, with 3 talks to choose from:

1. A Man and His Maker: Facing Death in Worcester in 1499
2. You’ve Been Timber Framed: An Introduction to Medieval Architecture
3. Collections & Reflections: An Introduction to Antiques

To enquire about a group booking for a ‘Topic Talk’ and receive further information on ticket prices and overview of what each Talk entails, please email greyfriars@nationaltrust.org.uk or call 01905 23571. ‘Topic Talks’ depend on the availability of the presenter on your chosen day – please let us know a date you have in mind for your group booking when enquiring.

Group Visits – Education/Schools

To organise a visit for school or education groups, please contact us directly to discuss your needs. Wherever possible we will do our best to accommodate a visit. Bookings are free for groups with an educational membership, otherwise prices can be discussed with the property directly. Find out more about education memberships.

Access for everyone

Due to the nature of this late-medieval property there is uneven surfaces and steps throughout; and access to the upper floor of the house is via an 18th century staircase.

If your group require a visit to the ground floor only (2 rooms and garden), or to discuss any adjustments we can make to support a visit, please contact us so we can tailor the experience as much as possible to meet the needs of your group.

If you or anyone in your group needs to bring a carer or an essential companion to accompany you on a visit you can apply for an essential companion card through the National Trust free of charge. Access for everyone | National Trust

Refreshments

The Old Oak Café at Greyfriars is open 10am to 4pm, Tuesday to Saturday, serving a range of hot and cold drinks, light bites, lunches, and baked goods. We ask that large groups stagger the visits to the café for the comfort of everyone. Alternatively, seating for small groups can be arranged on request.

If your group would like to use the café, guarantee seating or find out more about refreshment options, please speak to a member of the team at the time of enquiry.

On the day

Please be aware there is no onsite carparking at Greyfriars – see our ‘Getting here’ information on the homepage. The nearest drop-off point for coaches is City Walls Road (approx. 5 minutes’ walk). Upon arrival, please check in at reception located at 14 Friar Street (opposite the main house). We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes before the start time of your visit so we can get everyone checked in and ready to begin.
