The Canterbury Tales

"what are we doing today?"

Ever wondered what it would be like to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era? At The Canterbury Tales you can do just that.

Inside the historic building of St Margaret's Church you can step back over 500 years to join Geoffrey Chaucer (England's finest poet) and his colourful characters as they journey from London towards the shrine of St.

Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral and enjoy their medieval adventure stories. Along the way, their stories of love, romance, jealousy and trickery are vividly re-created with all the humour of Chaucer's famous tales.

The Canterbury Tale is a fascinating and accurate portrayal of life in medieval England during the 14th century.

With audio guides it provides an excellent introduction to Chaucer and his famous Tales.
