God’s House Tower is Southampton’s newest family attraction, packed with gory stories, animated displays, and family-friendly events.

Explore the hidden history of the Tower, from the gruesome details of Southampton’s last hanging, to stories of gunpowder, muskets and jails. 

See Southampton as never before with a state-of-the-art CGI telescope, climb the spiral staircase up to the roof, and discover spectacular views of luxury liners and passenger ferries.

Learn about the Stories Behind the Stones with Heritage: Live! events, including hands-on workshops and learning opportunities.

You can visit the art galleries, shop, library and cafe for free. If you purchase a Tower ticket for Stories Behind the Stones you can come back as many times as you like during a three month period.
