What was here before?

Join the Bethlem Gallery and the Museum of the Mind for an invigorating walk around the stunning grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. On this walk we will be asking ‘What was here before?’ and finding out about the history of the hospital from when it moved in 1930. Is Monks Orchard anything to do with monks? What was this iron fence for?

Strong footwear is advised at it may be muddy in places and be prepared for rain or shine! Concession tickets are available for SLaM Service users, people over 60, students, people referred by social prescribing link workers, people on jobseekers allowance and people registered as disabled.
