The Palace Trust

Homepage

The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens in Wells is a site of local, national and international importance, over 800 years old and steeped in history. The aim of the major development project is to extend access to the Palace and its beautiful grounds, making them more open and welcoming to a wide variety of local organizations and interest groups, thus providing a real service to the local community, and ensuring that visits are a more satisfying experience. It includes a new Community Garden and ‘green’ cafe and the conversion of The Old Stable Yard into a new activity, creativity and education space. We have now received planning permission and Heritage Lottery funding and are looking to raise the remaining funding needed to allow us to commence work.
