The Landmark Trust is opening Peake's House in association with Heritage Open Days. Admission is free, leaflets on the building's history and children's activity sheets will be available on site.
Peake's House stands in the Dutch Quarter, which has retained its old street plan. Originally three cottages and with Colchester being a centre of the cloth trade, they probably belonged to weavers, the long mullioned windows designed to give light to the men at their looms. The satisfying late Elizabethan interiors of a prosperous merchant’s house provide a particularly atmospheric existence within its walls.
Whilst booking is not essential we would ask that you register for the event via Eventbrite so that we can provide you with updates regarding the event.

Peake's House is a historic building with uneven floors, changes in floor level and stairs. It may not be suitable for people with limited mobilty.

Open Day entry
Due to the historic nature of our buildings we have a limited capacity for our Open Day events. You may therefore be asked to wait a short time while other visitors finish their visit.
