Described by Country Life as “one of the world’s most photographed homes”, The Crooked House on Lavenham High Street is a must-see for historic house enthusiasts, supper club foodies and culture lovers.
Built in 1395, The Crooked House is said to be the inspiration for the old English nursery rhyme ‘There was a Crooked Man’. Today, it is home to two ‘Crooked Men’ – husbands Alex and Oli – who share their 600-year-old home’s remarkable story through events, experiences, art and gifts.
Experiences at The Crooked House include:
The Crooked House Story – an immersive, theatrical 75-minute experience, bringing to life the 600-year tale of this ancient home. Guided by the Crooked Men, you’ll meet wool merchants, weavers, witches and even a few ghosts, as you time travel together through six centuries and four historic rooms.
Black tie Dinners at The Crooked House – come dine with the Crooked Men at their popular Black tie Dinners. These sell-out theatrical feasts have been described as “Britain’s best supper club”, attracting guests from near and far to dine in this candlelit medieval house.
