Take part in a Vaults tour and venture down into the Museum’s cellars. Explore layers of history rarely seen by the public and hear the stories of the people who once lived and worked within the building.

Brought to life through projections and characters from this buildings history, a tour of the vaults will take you through 500 years of changing hands and uses. From the grand home of a wealthy Tudor family, to the city's first infirmary. Not all tales are for the faint of heart however, as you hear a selection of stories from one of Peterborough’s most haunted buildings.
