Bishops' House
Sheffield’s best-kept secret will amply reward any time detectives or treasure-hunters, willing to seek it out.
Over 500 years old, Bishops’ House is a living, breathing time capsule, where history seeps out of every wall and soot-stained fireplace.
A rare window on life in Sheffield before the steel and smog, Bishops’ House and a walk in nearby Meersbrook or Graves parks will bring a touch of magic to your weekend.
Special Activities for Children/Families Details:
Find out more about life in Tudor England by exploring Bishops’ House using our Family History Quest and by joining in with art activities including designing an outfit for Henry VIII or Elizabeth I.
Opening Times:
Saturday 13th September: 10am to 4.30pm
