About

This exciting attraction invites you to travel through the history of Staircase House from 1460 to WWII. With the help of a state-of-the-art audio guide, the fascinating history of the house will unfold on a fun, accessible and informative journey.

You are invited to smell, touch and listen and to relive its history by pulling back the bedclothes on the four-poster bed, peeling rush lights, and trying your hand at 17th century quill pen writing.

Perfect for a family day or simply to enjoy a unique hands-on historical experience, Staircase House has an intriguing array of rooms linked by narrow passages and the beautifully restored Jacobean cage newel staircase. Group bookings are welcome both inside and outside normal opening hours by special arrangement. Events are held throughout the year.

Admission: Adults £4.75, Concessions: £3.50, Accompanied Children under 16 FREE (Includes an audio-guided tour).
