Entry to Bethlem Museum of the Mind is by pre-booked timed ticket only. Your ticket is valid for you, plus up to three others in your household or support bubble. Please respect UK Government Tier 2 restrictions by not inviting anyone outside your household / bubble to join your party.

Museum entry gives you access to its permanent and temporary displays, the Hospital's historic Boardroom, and the Bethlem Gallery. Multiple entry times are available on every day the Museum is open, but each time slot is limited to one household booking and one hour in duration. Bookings are free of charge, but donations are always welcome. The shop facilities of both Museum and Gallery will be open for purchases of cards, books, gifts, prints and original works of art.

When you arrive, please ring the bell to the left of the wooden double doors, and be ready to show confirmation of your booking on your phone or on a print-out. You are required to wear a mask for the duration of your visit.

Our opening is supported by a team of volunteers who give generously of their time, and who count on the arrival of those who have booked. If you find that you are unable to attend at the time you booked, please cancel your booking via Eventbrite, and rearrange as required. Thank you.
