Life in Victorian Leeds at Abbey House Museum

Fridays between March and November

Our guided tour takes you through the museum’s authentically re-created Victorian streets for a glimpse at what life was like in 19th century Leeds.

Your guide will take you through the shops, pub and businesses that were part of the city over 100 years ago.

The tour of the Victorian streets takes approximately 45 minutes.

Once the guided tour has finished, we invite you to discover the rest of the museum at your leisure, including the latest exhibition. Afterwards, take a break in the beautiful surroundings of The Gatehouse Cafe where a Colonel North lunch will be served.

We recommend allowing 1.5 hours for your visit, not including lunch.
