Individual or family visit

Tickets

You do not need to reserve an individual visit or a visit with your family. You can simply purchase tickets for you and your family at the reception during your visit.

What to expect

Prepare for an experience that will stay with you for life, an unforgettable journey through an authentic setting in a museum where the past comes to life.

During an individual or family visit you will have the opportunity to admire Talbot House in all its facets. Experience the atmosphere of yesteryear. Feel British and glitzy with a cup of tea. Create, compose and showcase your skills at the piano. Sweep your opponents under the carpet at the chessboard or push your boundaries with our garden games.

Enjoy the permanent exhibition 'A House of People', visit the Slessorium and stroll carefree in the garden. Experience the Talbot House experience up close in The Old House and be surprised, just like then, by the Happy Hoppers Show in the Concert Hall. Finally, find out all about the later life of Philip 'Tubby' Clayton, the founder of Talbot House, in Tubby's Dining Room.

During your visit we would like to offer you a free cup of coffee or tea, the perfect opportunity to exchange a word with one of the guests, other museum visitors or one of the British caretakers.
