Our People, Our History, Our Community
Our mission is to preserve the building known as Bishop Hooper House for the community and visitors of our great historic City of Gloucester, in order to educate, excite & explore the identities of the city and its people thorough objects, exhibitions, displays, programming and events.
Our aims are to display objects from the City collection to bring to life the stories of the people of the City of Gloucester from the Tudor period to the present day. This is a project with the city community at its heart. Our aim is that everyone will have the opportunity to be involved in shaping the stories we tell.
We run tours of this historic building throughout the year.

HERITAGE OPEN DAYS
Heritage Open Days celebrate England’s fantastic historic architecture and culture by offering FREE access to properties which are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Every year on four days in September, there’s a chance to discover architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of events and activities which bring local history and culture to life.
In Gloucester, the events are organised by the Civic Trust and offer a huge range of activities including guided walks, access to historic buildings, music recitals, talks and cultural activities. Gloucester can trace its history from Roman occupation in the first century. It is rich in Saxon, Medieval and Tudor history and played a crucial part in the English Civil War with the Siege of 1643.
