THE COMMANDERY
Open every day throughout
the Year (except Christmas day. Boxing day and New Years day).
Monday-Saturday 10.00 a.m.- 5.00 p.m.
Sunday 1.30 p.m. -5.30 p.m.
For further information contact us at
The Commandery, Sidbury, Worcester WR1 2HU
Tel: 01905 355071
The first view of the Commandery is a deceptive one for behind the
small timber-framed entrance is a stunning complex of buildings,
Medieval to Georgian in period, holding interests rich and varied
for the visitor.
At the Battle of Worcester in 1651 the Commandery was used as
the Royalist Headquarters. Today, period rooms offer a glimpse
at the stunning architecture and style of Tudor and Stuart times
whilst acting as home to the country's only museum devoted to
the story of England's Civil War.
As this dramatic story unfolds take your place at the trial of
Charles I, visit a Royalist encampment on the eve of the battle
and enjoy the video re-enactment of the last battle of the war
narrated by Charles II and Oliver Cromwell.
In addition our newly refurbished Gallery houses a different
exhibition every few months.
As well as permanent displays the Commandery has a wealth of
events throughout the year for you to enjoy. With a history spanning
the centuries, time travelling events allow characters from the
Commandery's past to come back to visit. We will bring the past
to life either with our own costumed staff or with the help of
re-enactment societies such as Worcester Militia.
Regular features of our events programme include candlelit ghost
tours, Summer garden parties, music and theatre evenings and children's
holiday activities. Alternatively you can rent the magnificent
Great Hall itself for an event of your own. (Contact the Commandery
for further details.)
Our shop stocks a large selection of books, period gift items
and souvenirs. Our tea-room, Cromwells' Pantry, will be delighted
to serve you with light lunches and afternoon tea from April to
the end of October.
Our extensive schools programme is designed to meet the demands
of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 2 and 3. (Contact the
Commandery for further details.)
Finding us is simple with excellent road links from the M5 at
Junction 7. The Commandery is right in the heart of Worcester
just 3 minutes walk from the Cathedral.
