♦ 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.

• Wednesdays: 13:00-16:00hrs 
• Fridays: 13:00-16:00hrs
• Saturdays: 11:00-16:00hrs
• Sundays: 11:00-16:00hrs

♦ Entry to exhibitions

Entry to The Christmas Collection is free, this includes entry into the permanent collection upstairs subject to staffing levels.

Donations are always 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 is fully accessible by wheelchair but unfortunately we do not have lifts to the upper floors.
