The Whitfield Tabernacle Trust was formed in 2017 with the aim of saving the Grade I listed Tabernacle and converting the former eyesore into a useful building that could serve the local community, and tell the story of the 18th Century preachers who transformed Kingswood through their faith and their compassion.

Thanks to financial support from the West of England Combined Authority, Historic England, South Gloucestershire Council and local supporters, Phase I of saving the Tabernacle was completed in 2022. 

THEN

PHASE II

We hope to open the doors in 2026, providing an attractive building that can be used as a performance venue and exhibition space, including a café and meeting rooms.  We also look forward to South Gloucestershire Council realising their plan to convert the former graveyard into a ‘pocket park’.
