ST NICHOLAS Priory, one of Exeter's magnificent ancient buildings, re-opens to the public on Saturday, April 5, after a two-year programme of repair and redisplay.
Originally part of a medieval priory, the building was later home to the Hurst family.
It is now presented as their furnished Elizabethan town house with replica furniture, sumptuous fabrics and rich colours.
The display of Elizabethan items from the city's collection and the addition of modern amenities and new interpretation allows greater access to the Priory and gives a wonderful insight into Tudor life.
During the Easter school holiday (April 5 to 19) families will be able to step back in time and enjoy authentic Tudor music, meet the Hurst household, play Tudor games, try on Tudor clothes and learn about dances, food and tales from the time.
Entry to the Priory is free throughout the holiday and it is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm with a special opening on Sunday, April 13 for a living history weekend. Most activities are free.
The Priory is at The Mint, off Fore St, Exeter EX4 3BL, Tel: 01392 665858 Web: www.exeter.gov.uk/priory.
