Once we found it, it was brilliant. There is no parking on site so you have to use the public car parks. That's ok , we paid £3.50 and we could have stayed all day in Worcester. The downside is the lack of signage to the house while walking. When we found it we didn't know where to go to show our NT cards so we just went into the house. We were really lucky in that we arrived just as Gloriana Living History we're about to start a demonstration of Elizabethan dancing. Really good and the costumes were amazing. We were then lucky enough to jump on the start of a tour of the house. What an amazing history and the brother and sister who owned it were the original recyclers. We asked Fiona, our fantastic guide where we should have gone to show our membership and it turned out to be a bookshop across the road. So we went across and told the gentleman so that they could add us to the list of visitors. Well worth going

We visited in the half-term, they ran tours every hour from 11am to 2pm, we arrived just before 12 and the 12 o’clock tour was already full, however, after booking on to the 1pm we were able to have a look around the beautiful little garden, do the activities they had set up in the garden and sit having a drink from the cafe in the sun which was lovely. The tour lasts about an hour, and is the only option if you want to look around the house as far as I know, the tour guide was very informative and friendly, excellent at explaining the extensive history of the house. With the house being in the city centre it’s a great stop off point for an hour or two on a day trip.

This is another gem from the National Trust. It is in the heart of Worcester City Centre and gives an insight into how a tradesman may well well have lived hundreds of years ago. The tour was informative and interesting. It is well worth signing up for. The wealth of knowledge and understanding the people who show you around is first rate. The gardens a very pleasant with space to have a picnic and plants to enjoy. The tea rooms are well run and offer the drinks and cakes that many enjoy. The toilets are spotless. It is well worth a visit.

Greyfriars was lovey to visit. It's very old(around 1480s). The volunteers there are great, very good with young children. It was interesting to hear about the history and lifes of the brother and sister who saved it (Matley and Elsie). I loved the uneven floors. Don't miss the framed flock wallpaper in the hall, mr punch doorstop in the bedroom and the Georgian wallpaper in the dining room (made with arsenic for the green colour). The garden was really lovely too we had a cream tea when we visited. Would recommend a visit.

A very interesting NT property. Although you can visit the garden & cafe when you wish, the house is only accessible by guided tour. These can’t be booked prior to arrival, so best to come here (bookings are opposite on the other side of the road to the arched entrance to the property) first as you get to Worcester and get yourself booked in. Our guide (Karen) was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Had a very nice lunch at the Cafe.

Office for tickets is opposite the entrance of Greyfriars. There is a tour at 11.30 that we went on that lasts approx 1 hour. On the app it says 11am so unsure which is correct. Tour was informative and you have time to wonder. There is a small garden and lovely cafe there. There is toilet facilities but non for babies or disabled toilets. We left pram downstairs and had baby in carrier as there is stairs to climb in the house.
