The Commandery is a beautiful building and garden where you can encounter the past brought to life…
Set in the heart of historic Worcester, it’s 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.
With lots of history to uncover, gardens to explore, interactive fun and regular events, The Commandery is the perfect place for a family day out. Enjoy homemade food and locally roasted coffee beside the canal at Little Al’s Kitchen at The Commandery too.
