This historic building relies on the support of visitors to remain open as a place of prayer and worship, to be kept in good repair and to operate as a centre where people can learn about John and Charles Wesley and the origins of Methodism.  Any money or time that people donate makes a huge difference.

Become a Friend of the New Room

Friends of the New Room support the work of the New Room by making regular donations, preferably by Standing Order and Gift Aided. The annual subscription is £35.00 per person or £500.00 for life membership. Money raised in this way also supports the work at Charles Wesley’s House in Bristol, the other important heritage site in our care.

As well as enjoying the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing towards the ongoing care of these unique buildings and the mission work that takes place here, as a Friend you will receive the monthly New Room e-newsletter (optional) and receive invitations to various events.

To become a Friend, please download and complete the Friends of the New Room Registration Form.

Please return the signed form, your details and payment for the attention of the Secretary of Friends at the New Room to friends@newroombristol.org.uk or by post to The New Room/John Wesley's Chapel, 36 The Horsefair, Bristol, BS1 3JE.

Payment can be made by Direct Debit, PayPal or by cheque (made payable to 'John Wesley's Chapel' and not to the New Room, due to bank account identification requirements).

Leave a legacy

Gifts in wills are so important to the ongoing mission of the New Room. A gift in your will can be a lasting legacy to ensure that The New Room can continue long into the future to benefit new generations. The easiest way is to leave a percentage of your estate. You can leave just 1% to The Room and it will really help our work and ensure your kindness is remembered.  Leaving a legacy isn’t complicated, and you don’t have to make a new will if you already have one.  The only information you need to give to your solicitor is our registered charity number 1137957 and our address: The New Room 36 The Horsefair, Bristol, UK BS1 3JE.

You can find our more about Leaving a Gift in your Will here.

If you have any queries, please contact the New Room Director on 0117 926 4740 or director@newroombristol.org.uk

Volunteer

Volunteers are needed on a daily basis to welcome visitors to the New Room and help with any questions they may have. You can decide how often you choose to volunteer and, whilst some knowledge of the Wesleys is helpful, you don’t need to be an expert! The most important attributes are enthusiasm, a friendly nature and a willingness to learn and meet new and fascinating people from all over the world!

This historic Grade 1 listed 18th century building relies on the support of visitors to remain open as a place of prayer and worship in Bristol city centre. As the ‘cradle of Methodism’, it must be kept in a good state of repair in order to operate as a place where people can continue to come and learn about the life and ministry of John and Charles Wesley and the establishment of the Methodist movement.  Any money donated is used to maintain the building and support our mission.Thank you.
