A Worcester museum has celebrated 20 years of independence.

The Tudor House Museum marked the milestone this year after being saved by volunteers in 2003.

The museum, housed in a timber-framed building from the 1520s, was closed due to financial cuts.

It was only able to remain a heritage setting, rather than being converted for commercial use, thanks to the efforts of volunteers who established the Worcester Heritage and Amenity Trust.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the museum hosted a special event, supported by the Museum of Royal Worcester.

The gathering included volunteers, trustees, and representatives from various Worcester organisations.

The museum, once home to clothiers and weavers, continues to narrate the story of its historical inhabitants.

It is open from Wednesday to Saturday, from 10am to 4pm, offering free admission.

Visitors can enjoy homemade bakes, coffees, and teas at the on-site café.
