Open days 2026.

Here is a short video by Andrew Cruz Evans. We hope it tempts you to visit us ... but, there are no more open days planned at the moment.

Artspace Lifespace held the lease for the Mansion from 2018 -May 2026. FAM thanks them for the support given during their tenure.

Bristol Historic Buildings Trust are currently in the building under a tenancy at will, which allows them to manage the day-to-day running of the Mansion & host events. A long-term lease is under negotiation with Bristol City Council. The Trust hopes to have the lease by autumn 2026.
For more information see the Trust website, in particular their FAQs.

Update October 2024

A fall of ceiling plaster onto one of our walkways means that we have suspended hard hat tours for the forseeable future. We are looking at new ways to show our visitors the derelict upper floors.

Images of the derelict upper floors can be found here.
