Visit to Glenside Hospital Museum

Excellent museum, very interesting especially as I worked at the hospital browbeat doing my nurse training

What an incredible experience this was. Living in Bristol my whole life - I didn’t know much about it but after leaving I learnt so much more about that significant help it provided. For only £5 donations and you can take as long or as short as you want. It was the perfect day out. Will defo go back again with more friends to showcase the facts and great history.

Absolutely fantastic museum. Knowledgeable friendly volunteers who work hard to make this an amazing space to learn about the former pyschiatirc hospital and psychiatry. The guided tour of the former hospital grounds is a great way to learn more and Tea in the Turret (when available) is a fantastic way to hide away overlooking the museum with tea and yummy cake! Check museum website for tour dates and tea in the turret dates. I love visiting this museum it's one of my favourite places to go when I can. Excellent ticket price which gives you a year to visit again and again. If I lived closer I'd volunteer myself! Thank you to all at Glenside Hospital Museum

We went on Bristol walking week in May. We did self guided tour around the grounds which is free. The grounds are pretty and very interesting facts on the guide. We went into the museum which was £5. Each and great value. Small and again positive informative. The staff were friendly and welcoming

What an incredible place! I wish I’d known about it earlier. For starters, the volunteers running the museum are incredible, super friendly and knowledgeable. The museum has all sorts of really genuinely interesting pieces, from artefacts to art installations, and stories that have been carefully and lovingly pieced together from the very real people who passed through (or didn’t leave!) the hospital. It is truly eye-opening. Educational, emotional, humbling, raw and sensitive all at the same time. This museum should be visited by anyone who’s had contact with mental health care, or looking after a loved one. It’ll make you pause and think about what is really best for people.
