Tea in the Turret: Museum visit with tea & cake

Thoroughly enjoyed the museum and learnt lots. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would return to read more. Turret was cute and cosy. Tea ok but was expecting cream tea scone etc or sandwiches as well. Homemade cake would be better.

Loved the museum - really thought provoking. We will definitely come back and read all the bits we didn't manage to this time. The tea in the turret was fun - very quirky. My only comment is that we were brought 9 pieces of cake for 4 of us (2 and a 1/4 each?!) and actually none of them were particularly big!

Loved it. X

Lovely hostess and informative guide. Good way to spend a couple of hours learning about Bristol and how mental health was dealt with .

The museum had a lot more than we thought. The staff were knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Really enjoyed it. Enjoyed our tea but didn't really need the cake. Really friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely go back again. Thank you.

I found Glenside on the web and was interested in its pioneering work in distinguishing learning difficulties from mental illness before most people did. Then I saw Tea in the Turret and that.is what drew me to visit. Excellent educational displays and evocative exhibitions. Too much to take in at once. Cake was very good!

Really lovely experience - the museum was amazing - so much to learn in such a small space! we spent about an hour having our tea, and then another 2 hours in the museum. the staff are very passionate and it felt great to contribute to their work.

A unique experience.

Really enjoyed our visit especially our coffee and cake in the Turret. Volunteers full of information and very helpful. Explored the grounds and the hospital afterwards. Brilliant few hours.

Such a unique place! All of the staff were helpful & friendly. The turret area was wonderful to experience.
