Begin your journey at the Broadway Museum & Art Gallery, set in a beautiful 17th-century Tudor house on the edge of the Cotswolds. This immersive experience transports you to the bustling Coaching Era of Broadway, where you’ll be welcomed with a tankard of traditional ale or local cider (non-alcoholic options available). Your knowledgeable guide will share captivating stories of Broadway’s rich history, bringing to life the customs and characters of 1660s England.
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on butter churning lesson. Learn the traditional method, flavour your butter with Droitwich Salt, and shape and wrap it using eco-friendly materials. Expect to get your hands a little messy as you pat and mould your creation—this is all part of the fun.
While your butter chills, enjoy a guided tour through the museum’s interactive exhibitions, exploring Broadway’s unique heritage as a key stop in the Coaching Era. Afterwards, gather at a 17th-century table for a hearty, seasonal meal. Depending on the time of year, you’ll be served either a rustic stew or a classic Ploughman’s lunch, accompanied by freshly warmed bread—perfect for tasting your own handmade butter.
The experience concludes with you taking home your butter, a tangible memory of your time in Broadway. You’ll leave from the museum, right in the heart of the village, ready to explore more of the Cotswolds or share your photos and stories.
