Set in the heart of historic Worcester, The Commandery is most famous for being the Royalist Headquarters during the deciding battle of the English Civil War – the Battle of Worcester 1651.
Built on the site of an early medieval chapel, The Commandery has also been a monastic hospital, family home, a college for the blind, and it housed the Littlebury Printworks before becoming today’s museum revealing significant stories of its city’s history.
Marvel at the Great Hall, explore the Tudor and Georgian rooms, beautiful gardens, medieval Painted Chamber and more. Round off your visit at the independent canal-side café on site.
