Plan your visit

♦ About visiting

We are a volunteer-led charitable trust. Our building is on four floors without space for a lift. Our ability to show the Collection in its entirety is limited by both space and available volunteers. We therefore operate currently as per the visitor information below.

♦ Opening times

Design Icons: Made in Bristol which runs from Saturday 9 September – Sunday 5 November 2023 – opening times will be:
Wednesdays 13:00-16:00
Fridays 12:00-19:00
Saturdays 11:00-17:00
Sundays 11:00-15:00 (10 Sept and 5 November only, i.e. the first and last Sunday of the exhibition)

♦ Entry to exhibitions

Entry to Design Icons: Made in Bristol is £3 per head and free for Friends. Cash or card donations to our charity are very welcome.

♦ Transport

Car: Trenchard Street car park is 5 minutes’ walk away.

Bus/train: Many buses stop at the top of Park Street, 1 minute’s walk away:  the 8 connects with Bristol Temple Meads railway station.

♦ To view full collection

Find out about our Curator’s tours. Alternatively, a guided tour of the full collection by the Curator can be arranged for groups of up to 10 people, with a charge of £15 per person (subject to a minimum charge of £60) – it would make a great birthday celebration. Please complete the form below to find out about arranging a group tour.

♦ Accessibility

Please note that the Collection is housed in a narrow building on four floors without a lift. The ground floor houses the Stradling Gallery and is fully accessible by wheelchair but we regret that there is no wheelchair-accessible toilet.
