Discover the enchanting Michelham Priory, the perfect family day out, featuring England’s longest medieval moat and a rich history spanning over eight hundred years.
Established in 1229 by Augustinian canons, the Priory has evolved through centuries, including Tudor dissolution and wartime refuge, now standing as a testament to its storied past.
Visitors can explore hands-on historical displays within the house and gatehouse, showcasing everything from a Victorian kitchen to a WWII evacuee’s bedroom, offering an immersive glimpse into different eras. Roam through seven acres of stunning gardens adorned with seasonal blooms, marvel at the Tudor mansion, and admire the impressive 14th-century gatehouse.
Children will delight in the playground and dressing-up activities, sparking their imaginations with historical costumes. Adults can unwind and enjoy homemade treats at the café, which serves a variety of hot and cold foods throughout the day.
Michelham Priory offers a delightful blend of history, nature, family-friendly activities and special events, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
