A new chapter for Ashton Court Mansion. Be part of it.
Ashton Court Mansion Trust is a charity working to secure the future of Ashton Court Mansion, bring it into community ownership and restore the 75% of the building that is dilapidated. Our ambition is to create a place for celebration, learning, food, skills, heritage, culture and the arts, restoring the building in phases over the years ahead.
Our community share offer is now open. We’re raising £500,000 to help secure a long-term lease from Bristol City Council, run the Mansion and lay the foundations for its restoration.
Buy community shares and you’ll become a member of the Trust, with a say in the Mansion’s future.
