John Wesley's New Room is a Methodist Heritage site in the centre of Bristol – the world’s oldest Methodist building dating back to 1739. Located in the heart of Broadmead it is open to public six days a week as a visitor attraction and remains a place of worship and pilgrimage for people from all over the world.
The award-winning museum consists of a peaceful Grade I listed 18th century chapel with beautifully preserved features, and Preachers’ Rooms exploring social and religious history, with stories of social justice and abolition, health and wellbeing, education, the global spread of Methodism founded from work and experiences in Bristol, and the relevance of John Wesley's work to today's social and political climate.
