Be part of a rich legacy

We invite you to share in Barts Heritage and join us as a Patron. Your support will help us to safeguard and open up nationally important cultural treasures and secure their future.

Members of the Patrons Circle are asked to make a donation of £3,000 per year which will support the Sharing Historic Barts project.

In recognition of your generous support, we are delighted to offer you:

  • A curator-led private tour of the historic North Wing each year for a group of up to six people, followed by a glass of champagne in our historic panelled rooms
  • The chance to arrange private access to the Barts Heritage buildings for groups of up to six people on three further occasions per year (subject to availability)
  • Invitations to an annual programme of special talks and events

Barts Heritage Patrons Circle is available for individual or couple membership. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Send us an email or complete the form to send your contact details and we’ll be in touch.
