Priory House Heritage Centre provides a focal point for access to, and participation in, heritage activities in the town. The main exhibition 'Dunstable; the Town at the Crossroads', also offers a fascinating insight into the incredible history of the area and a regular programme of events, demonstrations, talks and temporary exhibits, serve to enhance the visitor experience.

The building houses the Tourist Information Centre for the southern part of Bedfordshire. The Tourist Information Centre provides a gateway to the Priory House experience, the delights of the local area and acts as a guide to Great Britain and further afield!

Priory House is also the home of a unique gift shop that offers high quality gift ware to the discerning visitor. Merchandise includes items for birthdays, weddings and other special occasions, together with locally sourced products and pocket money gifts.

A visit to the fully licensed Priory House Tea Rooms for a selection of delicious hot and cold beverages, freshly prepared snacks, hot meals, Cakes and Sundaes, is further enhanced by the wonderful view across the beautifully kept Priory Gardens, stretching all the way to Priory Church of St. Peter.

Centrally located, Priory House is open from Monday to Saturday (except Bank Holidays) 10am to 4pm, with extended hours for special events and catered functions. Please note that the Priory House Tea Rooms are open Monday to Saturday 10am to 4.30pm.
