Did you know we are a registered charity? Every step we take to protect this remarkable 14th-century building is only possible thanks to the generosity of people like you.
Winterbourne Medieval Barn Trust does not receive any core funding from government or local authorities and is run entirely on independent income from individuals, trusts and foundations and local companies. Although we occasionally receive a grant from South Gloucestershire Council, this support is never guaranteed. That’s why the generosity of our community of supporters matters so much.
Large or small, we are immensely grateful to all our supporters who give us gifts, and for the difference that these gifts make. Thanks to you, we can preserve this Grade II* listed Barn and bring its stories to life.
By visiting the Barn, attending one of our events or by using its facilities, you are helping us to preserve this Grade II* listed building, helping us to provide innovative education programmes to children and young people, and by encouraging more people to treasure the wonderful building.
Here are just some of the ways you could help…
