Dr Jenner's House

Dr Jenner's House The home of pioneering scientist Edward Jenner. Visit us in Gloucestershire from April to September.

Edward Jenner and the story of the eradication of smallpox shows how we can work together to overcome even the most feared of diseases. At Dr Jenner's House, Museum and Garden, we celebrate Jenner’s achievements and show how curiosity can change the world. We preserve the house and unique garden, entertain and inform our visitors by opening the museum, run educational programmes for learners of al

l ages, provide worthwhile and enjoyable volunteering opportunities for students and adults alike, and research and share our collections.

Potion Makers at Dr Jenner's House 📚🧐

Time's running out to book your place!

On Tuesday, 18 Aug 2-3.30pm join us to explore how herbs were used to treat wounds and illnesses in the past. We'll take inspiration from real historical remedies to write our own and then gather herbs from the Physic Garden and mix them in a cure.

Booking required as places are limited.

Thank you so much to everyone who has answered our questions about developing the museum. We really appreciate every single comment and we're hearing the need not just to raise our profile, but to transform our relationship with Berkeley through stronger community connections and partnerships, more opportunities for repeat visits, engaging science experiences and a richer programme of events,
