The Crooked House, Lavenham

Described by Country Life as “one of the world’s most photographed homes” and recently voted “Suffolk’s most Instagrammable place”, The Crooked House in Lavenham is a must-see for all visitors to the county.

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 house tour, 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 in Britain’s wonkiest house! These sell-out theatrical feasts have been described as “Britain’s best supper club”, attracting guests from around the world.
