Southchurch Hall

Southchurch Hall is a fascinating place to explore and unwind.

A short walk from Southend on Sea's busy seafront and High Street, the house, gardens and archaeology are a green oasis captured in time.

Interesting interiors are laid out in a series of period rooms including a great open hall reflecting life in the later middle ages, a Tudor kitchen with magnificent fireplace, and a solar wing displaying rooms in late Tudor and Stuart style.

A Day in the Life – The Tudors

‘Daily Life at Southchurch Hall’

Using the wonderful backdrop of Southchurch Hall, children will become immersed in the world of the Tudors. This popular session covers the following themes: the rooms of the Manor house and how they were used; rich and poor, how food was cooked and eaten; etiquette; clothing; natural materials.

Two children become Lord and Lady and three children become servants and a guard for the sessions.
