Trip: Cromwell Museum and Huntington

Join us for our upcoming trip to Huntingdon, the birthplace of one of England’s more influential historical figures, Oliver Cromwell on Tuesday 20th October 2026.

Our visit begins at the Cromwell Museum, housed in the former grammar school attended by Cromwell himself. We will enjoy an exclusive talk by the Stuart Orme, Curator of the Museum, who will bring to life the story of Cromwell.

Following our visit to the Museum, we will join Stuart Orme again for an entertaining and informative guided walk around the centre of Huntingdon, to find out more about what life was like here in Cromwell’s time and his connections to the town. The walk includes stories about royal visits, Civil War battles and even witch trials!

Finally, we will explore Huntingdon’s historic town hall with a guided tour. The building dates back to 1745 but stands on the site of a Shire Hall built in the 1500s. The tour includes the beautiful 18th century Assembly Room, the Council Chamber and the historic courtrooms, where you’ll hear about some of the historic trials that have taken place on this site, including the Huntingdon Witch Trials and the murder trial of Joshua Slade.

Tickets go on sale on 22nd September 2026 for £50.

Please note that part of this trip includes a walking tour, so comfortable, sensible footwear is essential.
