It costs over £100 a day to keep the Museum open. You can help by making a donation, becoming a Friend, volunteering or leaving us a gift in your will.
Holst Victorian House Unlocked
Cheltenham’s only independent museum has emerged from the pandemic with a new identity and an ambitious new focus. We’re the only historic house in Cheltenham which is open to the public – and of course we have the unique Holst factor. Holst Victorian House Unlocked is a new campaign that seeks to secure the future of the Museum by creating a more authentic Victorian atmosphere and by making the house more accessible to a diverse audience.
