Consider adding Gift Aid to your ticket

Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation in addition to our standard ticket price.  Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid – an extra 25 per cent – which helps us continue to run our museum.  An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to Bath Preservation Trust.  Please be aware that Gift Aid tickets are not annual passes and cannot be used again.

Families with babies and young children

No. 1 Royal Crescent aims to be welcoming and inclusive to everyone who visits the museum, including parents or guardians visiting with babies and young children.

Unfortunately prams and buggies cannot be taken through the house due to the historic nature of the building and its contents.

Breastfeeding and bottle feeding is allowed anywhere where there is visitor seating within the museum. Should parents require more privacy, please ask a member of staff on arrival who will be happy to assist in finding a quiet spot.

Baby changing facilities are not on the visitor route so please ask for assistance and a member of staff will guide you to the facilities.

A family trail is available for children.

Have fun!
