Bristol Heritage Building Trust is pleased to announce its first public Heritage Open Day at Ashton Court Mansion, scheduled for summer 2026.
The open day will give visitors a rare opportunity to step inside the mansion and see both its restored spaces and the areas still awaiting restoration. Guided tours will be led by heritage professionals and volunteers, covering the building's 600-year history and the trust's restoration plans.
The event is free to attend and open to all. No booking is required, although guided tour slots may be limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
"We want people to see this building for themselves," said a trust volunteer. "When you stand in the Great Hall and look up at the medieval timber roof, you understand immediately why this place matters. It's one thing to read about it — it's another to feel it."
The open day will also feature displays about the restoration project, opportunities to speak with conservation specialists, and information about how to support the campaign through donations, volunteering, and the upcoming community share offer.
Light refreshments will be available on site.
Further details, including the confirmed date and any booking arrangements for guided tours, will be published on the website and social media channels in the coming weeks.
