We're building a museum — and we want YOU to be part of it!

Right here in Basildon, we're creating a community museum, and it all starts with Wat Tyler and the Peasants' Revolt, an incredible piece of local history that happened on our doorstep.

Step Into the Past at The Museum of Living History

Join us at the Heritage Barn at Wat Tyler Country Park for an unforgettable immersive experience that brings history to life right where it happened. Meet Wat Tyler himself and uncover the story of the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt through an engaging interactive performance led by our expert curators, Artemus Watts and Jonny Tyler.

But the journey doesn’t end there; after the show, get hands-on in our heritage arts workshop, where you’ll craft your own medieval keepsakes to take home as a memory of your time-travelling adventure.

Perfect for history lovers, families, and curious minds of all ages. Book your tickets now and become part of the story!

🛠️ No experience needed; just bring your enthusiasm!

Open to all ages.
