Kingswood Heritage Museum

Popped into the cafe for a cup of tea at 4.30pm on a Sunday afternoon. The ladies who served us were so lovely.We'll definitely come back to visit the museum when we have more time as I think it's going to be very interesting.There's second hand books and jigsaws for sale in the cafe too.

Visited for the Christmas craft fayre which was lovely! Never been to the heritage museum before so had a good look round whilst we were there and it was very interesting, well worth a visit

My husband and I took our boys aged 8 and Autistic son aged 21 to the Museum yesterday. I have not visited since 2001 when it had only just been opened to the public.What a fantastic time we all had. So much to look at, so much history of the local area and Bristol. The staff were helpful, friendly, informative and generally a nice bunch of people.The Douglas room was the main reason for our visit from Southampton. I am 3rd generation Phillipps to be a member of the London Douglas Motor Cycle Club, my grandfather joined in 1931 not long after the club was founded so I have a strong personal connection to anything Douglas.The display was very interesting, a good selection of bikes and other Douglas factory items. A pleasure to browse and a lot of interesting information for anyone with less knowledge as me.My thanks go to all involved, in the Museum and behind the scenes. I will definitely not leave it 20 more years to visit again.

Fantastic place! Very helpful team of friendly, knowledgeable volunteers on hand to answer any questions you may have. Great little shop and cafe to grab a bite to eat. The grottoes are fascinating too! Great value for money and a good local trip out all round.

First time here and it won't be the last.Came for Halloween trail .. for my friend birthday present as she loves ghosts etc

We went because I love museums and this one is little unknown jewel, with so much to learn from the local community and a forgotten but important part of the English History. Definitely recommend!

We visited here this afternoon, what a fabulous place! There is a small car park and the museum is well signposted.Run by volunteers, the museum covers local history from Roman times to the present day. It’s a very ‘old school’ museum so there is lots to read and see and it’s worth paying £6 for the annual membership so you can absorb a bit at a time.The displays and models to illustrate topics are really well done. It really was fascinating to read about the way the area grew up and how it has changed so much, even in the last 50 years. It’s also surprising how much local industry has closed or moved away.Very enjoyable visit and we will certainly visit again, hopefully when it’s dry so we can explore outside!2nd visit, Aug 2022:Despite living nearby for many years, this is the first time we have visited these grottoes and the Neptune statue. There are plenty of information boards to give you an idea of what the site was like in its heyday and how innovative Champion was. We spent an hour wandering between the different areas and it was a fascinating experience. It would be lovely if SGC invested some money to maybe refill the lake or otherwise help develop these as a tourist attraction beyond the immediate area.

Very underrated museum. Our children loved it, the display are so interesting there especially the coal mine tunnel. Only £4 is a bargain

Amazing little place. Despite a few pieces tucked away during C19 it's packed with historic facts and loads of original pieces. £3 is very reasonable and now its free during C19 so I donated my entrance fee.

Such interesting place, and it brings back memories of Kingswood of when i was a child. Bonus that we were selling at their annual Christmas fair.Really lovely staff.Worth a visit
