Explore life in Cheltenham’s only Victorian home open to all, the birthplace of composer Gustav Holst in 1874. In Holst Victorian House you can explore the lives of some of the inhabitants, including Holst’s parents, both in Victorian and more modern times. The house is a time capsule of 19th century life with a working Victorian kitchen, Victorian bedroom, scullery and nursery. Composer Gustav Holst’s life and times can be discovered in his Music Room, complete with the piano on which he composed The Planets. The museum hosts a range of exhibitions, events and children’s activities throughout the year, including its popular ‘Bake Back in Time’ events using the working coal-fired range. Whether or not you have visited before, Holst Victorian House looks forward to welcoming you to 4 Clarence Road and sharing with you the experience of living in a Victorian home.

Dear Cheering Thank you very much your email. Unfortunately the museum isn't accessible for a wheelchair user. There are steps leading up the property and then stairs on each level. I am very sorry about this but this is due to the period nature of the property. The Wilson - the main art gallery & museum in Cheltenham is fully accessible.
Train from London Euston? Also, someone mention a long walk from car park [or in my case from station] - how long? I am compromised.

There is a train from London Paddington to Cheltenham. You can then take a taxi to the museum or to Cheltenham town centre, which is a 10 minute walk from the museum. There is also a D bus which goes from the station to the town centre. The D buses run regularly throughout the day. A taxi ride takes about 10-20 mins depending on traffic and will cost around £8. Thank you - hope to see you soon at the museum.
