MINI MUSEUM TELLS A TAILOR'S TALE

Gloucester

9 College Court

Enter the enchanting world of beloved English writer Beatrix Potter at her namesake shop. Discover the account of a little fabrication that became a tale to entertain children for generations. In the late 1800s, Potter heard of a Gloucester tailor who'd become a local legend with the claim that fairies had completed a suit during the night. Potter soon fictionalised the fantastical account for a children's book - The Tailor of Gloucester. Today, you can visit the building that inspired the book's workshop. Browse a gift shop and a small museum filled with Potter memorabilia. Uncover the true history of a tailor who spun a small story that was woven into a fable for the ages.
