Step into the past with the Snawsell Guided Tour, an exploration of how the seasons shaped life at Barley Hall. How did William Snawsell, his family, and their bustling household as they navigate the rhythms of medieval life — from fasting to feasting, prayer to pilgrimage, and the many celebrations that marked the turning of the year.
As you journey through the hall, our expert guides will bring history to life with immersive storytelling, intriguing scents, and objects to handle. By the end of the tour, you’ll be able to tell your Hock-tide from your Minor Rogations!
