Canterbury Tales

History, Travel, and accommodation information


Canterbury Tales An extremely popular family attraction tells the story of medieval life through the characters made famous by Geoffrey Chaucer. The Canterbury Tales is housed in the historic church of St Margarets, which would have been known to real medieval pilgrims.

Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of medieval Canterbury through interactive displays, authentic recreations of street scenes, and a modern retelling of Chaucer's Tale.

Follow Chaucer's Pilgrims from the Tabard tavern in London, to the shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. Audio guides are available in many languages and thete is a special childen's audio guide.

Be warned: in the summer months Canterbury Tales can be very crowded; the attraction is a popular destination for school groups and tour busses, so you may have to line up and wait your turn.
