The John Moore Museum is a very interesting group of museums. It is part of a terrace of very old buildings, one of which has been left as it was in Tudor times, another houses a spectacular collection of countryside exhibits and animals, and there is also a very early Baptist Chapel. We were a bit late in the season to appreciate the cottage gardens at their best and the Baptist Chapel was closed to visitors, so visit before the end of September if you want to see everything! Even so, it was a very good couple of hours.

Our annual visit to the first night of panto with family was brilliant. The children young and much older laughed and sang. A couple of very small first night mistakes handled very professional by the cast. Only the adults in our party noticed. If you've not booked do it was a fantastic show even better than last year, Christmas has started. Well done all. New seats made it even better very comfortable.

TEWKESBURY MUSEUM A local museum in a wonderful Tudor building, celebrating the town's rich and diverse history with collections that range from early Roman and the Battle of Tewkesbury to Antarctic exploration and the Mop Fair. A highlight is the recently restored model fair - music and motion for the first time since the 1960s. The museum is changing all the time. For those interested in the history of this fascinating market town, there are some real treasures to discover here. The museum has partially re-opened after lockdown with COVID precautions in place.

Just visited with my wife. We really enjoyed it, especially the antique toy fair. The lady on the door is very informative, providing additional information and local knowledge. Its a free museum with donations taken.

Spent 3 hours browsing there today. Driven past several times a week for the last year but didn’t recognise the name Malthouse and didn’t realise it was an excellent antiques emporium. So much to see and much of it reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. The cafe is excellent for a drink and a quick bite.

Reviewed By 974geoffreys - Tewkesbury, United Kingdom
Quite unique, has a real feel of history about it. Just opposite the abbey in church street and well worth a visit, isn’t a destination for the day but well worth taking the time if your in Tewkesbury. Also need to go to the bottom of the alley, the old chapel grave yard is hidden away and I’m told has the grave of Shakespeare’s sister. Walk to the end of the grave yard and you get a great view of the ham thround in.
