We are charity – of 85 years standing – and receive no statutory funding. Our income is generated through admission costs at our museums plus a subscribing membership of approximately 1,400 people and organisations. In light of the decision to temporarily close our museums, if you can support us and make a much-needed donation we would be extremely grateful.
We are delighted to announce that following lockdown, we have now re-opened No 1 Royal Crescent (click here for tickets) and are also running activities at the Herschel Museum of Astronomy (click here for tickets) all on a pre-booked basis. Our campaigning work and online planning advice continues; you can contact our planning team at 01225 338727 or email us at conservation@bptrust.org.uk
