Activity Detail Page

The Priest's House Museum is set in an historic town house where a series of period rooms takes the visitor back through the centuries. From the 17th Century Hall to the Georgian Parlour and working Victorian Kitchen, our rooms show what life and work was like for people in the past. The Museum tells the story of East Dorset from prehistoric to modern times. With hands-on activities in the Archaeology, Childhood and East Dorset Villages galleries, there is plenty to do and see! There is a delightful walled garden and tearoom serving refreshments, and a museum gift shop.
