Winterbourne House and Garden, like many other heritage attractions, relies on the help and support of members, volunteers and visitors to preserve and protect its collection.
The house and garden are now over 100 years old and need constant care to maintain the excellent standard we wish to uphold.
There are several ways that you can help to support us. Volunteering, Becoming a Friend or choosing to make a donation, or gift in your will are some of the options.
Further information on volunteering or the Friends of Winterbourne scheme are held in these pages. To discuss making a donation or a gift in your will, call or email Anna on 0121 414 9113, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
