Greyfriars' House and Garden

About

Greyfriars’ House and Garden in Worcester is a late‑medieval treasure that survived the threat of demolition to become a National Trust heritage site. The timber‑framed house, rescued in the mid‑20th century, offers visitors a chance to step into Tudor England, while the walled garden showcases Italianate features and a peaceful setting for picnics or strolls. A charming Old Oak café serves homemade cakes and drinks, and a second‑hand bookshop across the street hosts a curated collection of pre‑loved titles. Guided tours run by volunteers from Tuesday to Saturday between 10.10 am and 15.25 pm – a 60‑minute experience that brings the house’s history to life. The garden and café can be enjoyed at any time during those days, with free entry to the garden, café, and bookshop. For larger groups, a booking can be arranged by phone or email three days in advance. Whether you’re a history buff, a family on holiday, or simply looking for a quiet escape, Greyfriars offers a mix of heritage, greenery, and good food that celebrates Worcester’s cultural legacy.
