National Lottery Open Week: History in your Hands
We invite you to enjoy tea and cake in our quirky little secret space
The turret room and balcony were constructed in 1881 as part of the chapel. We've transformed this historic and unique space into a light hearted reflection of the museum's content.
Slots are 90 minutes long and the tickets are priced per person, with a maximum capacity of 4 in the room.
A visit to the museum is included.
Gift experiences
This can be purchased as a gift experience via Yuup, with a date to be arranged later with the recipient.
Could this be one of Bristol's best kept secrets?
Tucked away in the heart of Fishponds within UWE's Glenside Campus, our museum of mental health care has been hosting a unique immersive experience since spring 2025 and it’s been fully booked right through summer and autumn so we've snuck in a few more dates before Christmas.
If you’re searching for fun things to do in Bristol this winter, whether with friends and family, or curious little explorers, this is an uplifting and inspiring activity you won’t want to miss.
Children are very welcome to join us to climb the hidden spiral staircase. In fact, their curiosity often leads as they wander through our creative displays and discover something new around every corner.
We’ve also just opened What Brings Me Joy, a feel-good art exhibition, which is a riot of colour and inspiration to spark joy in visitors of all ages.
Come and experience one of Bristol’s most unusual and engaging local events for yourself!
We reckon it'll be the most unusual afternoon tea party you've ever had...
