What travellers are saying
- Tybalt00Winsford, UK115 contributionsHad a great time exploring this little museum. Interactive even for our 2 1/2 year old who enjoyed pressing the buttons. I can see how you would spend a few hours there. We were only there for 1hr 30mins; only because of my toddler.
The only thing with this place that was a disappointment was that prams had to be left at the front door. We were lucky and my parents had already opted to walk round the shops more; so gave them our pram to look after. I was definitely NOT leaving it at ground level.Written 15 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - clare s5 contributionsPeter and Verity and the Master we’re very knowledgeable made the visit very interesting and fun we really enjoyed the visitWritten 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tim CLondon, United Kingdom6 contributionsExcellent exhibition (#PAOTY); super friendly, helpful staff; lovely venue; great food and service.
A very lovely, relaxed day, and warm, helpful service despite the cafe struggling with a wedding and a staff shortage. A nice range of good food from yea/coffee/cake right through to a full, classy lunch.
Everything is well laid out, clean, clearly signposted.
We will definitely be back. Thank you - especially to the lively lady in the cafe (who had lost her voice!)Written 4 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - ModestlyAmazingSheffield, UK267 contributionsInformative about the olden days, cheap enough to walk around and visit various bits and bobs including a few movies you can watch.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- debdex1964Ashford, UK30 contributionsPopped in whilst in Stratford and saw the signs for ‘who stole the tarts’. We decided to have a go and was informed there was no characters today but that didn’t detract from the fun we had solving puzzles and riddles. A real whodunnit which was well thought out. Once back in the shop we were made to feel welcome and I loved the showaddywaddy music playing in the background. Well worth a visit.Written 29 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Michael RDenton, UK79 contributionsA small but interesting museum that tells the story of Winston Churchill, with great artefacts. Also has details of British Commandos during World War 2 and their raid on Pegasus Bridge. Well worth a visit and its FREE as well, however we donated to Help the Heroes. Great local museum.Written 2 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Belle-NoelCroydon, UK1,572 contributionsWe happened upon this place and popped in to have a look around.
The owners are really friendly and there is plenty of interesting art.
I loved the polar bear in the corner so very much but it was over my budget.Written 10 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Peter ZLondon, UK899 contributionsWe picked up on this museum through Trip Advisor and added it to our list for a weekend away.
No obvious parking, so we parked in the "main" road behind a number of other cars user by walkers.
We did not realise that the exhibition was actually in the church, and our visit on a Sunday could have conflicted with either a church service or the church being locked. However, when we arrived there was no planned service and the church was open - all good.
The exhibition is at the back of the church, arranged around the baptismal font and bell ropes. There is a surprising amount of information squeezed into this small space; costumes, weapons and information stands, which also explain the background to the English Civil War. There is also a video presentation where various re-enactors tell their story of the battle.
The church itself is also worth a look, some lovely medieval architecture.Written 15 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - LouDalyBidford on Avon3 contributionsI would highly recommend a Pottery Dottery party, Julie and her mum were so professional, welcoming and made the event extra special for my 4 year old and his friends. Pottery painting, pass the parcel, singing & hand waving tailor made for their needs – thank you for a great party, we all loved it, lots of memories and more importantly beautifully wrapped masterpieces to take home!Written 12 December 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- foodieMunich_GermanyKufstein, Austria127 contributionsThe children enjoyed dressing up for the simulated performances. It was a lot of work for them but they found it well worth it.Written 29 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- R GiansantiStaffordshire, UK26,067 contributionsThe Old Slaughterhouse Heritage and Arts Centre showcases local artists and sells unique handmade gifts and artwork. There is plenty of informational displays and memorabilia pertaining to Stratford’s history. They also have a cafe that serves homemade desserts, hot and cold beverages.Written 13 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- malc1005Kettering, UK4,049 contributionsIf like me , you have a passion for the railways, this place is a must visit. The owner Mr Cowan has opened up a small historic house, to show off his model layouts of Stratford Upon Avon railway, and all the memorabilia he has collected over many years, it is a step back in time, with some very unique items in his collection. He also has such a wealth of information regards the railway in this part of the country, and loves to impart this information to visitors. It is a free museum, but being an old house, it is small, but is well worth a visit. Highly Recommended.Written 12 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
