Beckford's Tower
@beckfordstower.bsky.social
120ft high Tower and #Museum in Bath. Built in 1826 for the use of one privileged man, now open to all.

💭 Income generated by events at Beckford’s Tower meets the cost of running the museum and looking after the building and landscape. Any surplus remaining is invested in collaborative projects, co-curation and educational activities, which continue our work to “reclaim the space” of the Tower for all

Can you picture Beckford thundering through the grotto tunnel and up to the Tower on his horse?

The Tower and grotto are open this weekend as usual, 10am-5pm – book your tickets online or purchase on the door at the Tower. beckfordstower.org.uk

Museum contains themes of enslavement.

... with one end still inaccessible to this day. Since we reopened the Tower to the public last June, following a £3.9million restoration project funded by @heritagefunduk.bsky.social and other generous supporters, visitors have been able to walk into the grotto.
