Blaise Museum
About

Blaise Museum is set within the grand Blaise Castle House, an 18th‑century mansion surrounded by 650 acres of landscaped parkland in Henbury, Bristol. Once the home of the Harford family, the house became a museum in 1949 and today showcases the city’s rich social history collections. Inside, visitors can explore rooms filled with everyday objects from centuries past, including toys, costumes, kitchenware, and domestic tools that reveal how people lived, worked, and played. The highlight is the magnificent Picture Room, hung with paintings from the museum’s collection and admired for its elegant Georgian design. Beyond the house, the estate offers sweeping parkland, woodlands, and the romantic folly of Blaise Castle, making it a favourite spot for walks and family outings. With free entry, seasonal events, and a setting that combines history, art, and nature, Blaise Museum provides both a cultural experience and a chance to enjoy one of Bristol’s most beautiful historic landscapes.
