Unlocking Holst Victorian House

We're looking to raise and invest £30,000 into the Holst Victorian House to make it a better and more inspiring space for you.

Help us:

- Create a more authentic Victorian atmosphere by restoring the hallway and installing period lighting and decoration.

- Enable visitors to hear the story of the house and its inhabitants as they take their tour, in person or virtually via our website.

- Engage with a broader and more diverse audience in the local community.

- Enhance the experience of visiting for people with sight and hearing difficulties.

- Become a must visit destination for Holst fans, where his original manuscripts are brought to life using the latest technology.
