Learning at Kingswood Heritage museum

The Museum is partly housed in Grade 2 listed buildings dating from the eighteenth century and there are also historic gardens with grottoes of national significance. Displays and our collections cover the heritage of the local area from the origins of Kingswood Forest including coalmining, boot making, and Victorian social life through to World War 2 and the 1950s.

We encourage all visiting children to develop an enquiry approach and we use artefacts to add tactile experiences and encourage speaking and listening.
