Gift Aid
If you are a UK tax payer willing to ‘Gift Aid’ your admission with a 10% voluntary donation, then this will allow us to claim an additional 28p on every pound you pay. The money we raise from Gift Aid makes a valuable difference to the upkeep and exhibition programme at Blackwell.
Meet the Curator
Every Monday at 2.00pm (except Bank Holidays), Blackwell’s Curator, Dr Kathy Haslam, will be available in the Main Hall, giving you the opportunity to ask her about aspects of The Arts & Crafts Movement, Blackwell and its collection.
Group Visits
There is a special reduced rate for pre-booked groups of 10 or more, further information is available here.
Parking

Photography
