Really lovely little place. Such an interesting place with so much information. Amazing informative staff that were so so lovely and made the experience even better. Very well kept place - museum and garden. Loved it! Great value for money. I found it so clever and insightful how the entire place was organised and all the different parts of the history and science that was covered!

This place is incredible. Your ticket is valid for a year so if you're local you could go back just for picnics on the lawn. Amazing stories are explored here. The staff are lovely and..... There's a museum cat!! Great little shop. Herb gardens. And the Temple of Vaccinia is really special. Go to the garden cafe for lunch. Explore the churchyard next door. Go to the castle if you want to make a day of it.

Interesting museum dedicated to the life of Dr Jenner. It's inside his house, with the rooms showing artifacts and information about his life in chronological order. We had an excellent introduction by one of the guides, which set us up with the key points, before we started our visit. Thank you! Outside, in his garden do look for the hut where he treated the local poor for free. Such a pivotal story in the health of people across the World. 😎👍👍👍👍

I visited the Jenner Museum in Berkely (Gloucestershire) on a Monday in June 2025 - travelled by bus (from Thornbury) The cost to get into the museum is £9 - plenty to see on the ground and 1st floor - the gardens are also worth a visit. The guides/staff are informative and interesting
