Often described as one of Bristol’s hidden treasures The Red Lodge offers visitors a chance to see 7 magnificent Tudor rooms built over 2 floors. It was built in 1580 as a lodge for the Great House which once stood on the site of the present Colston Hall.

The rooms tell the history of the house from Tudor origins to a Victorian girl’s reform school.
The Tudor Rooms include The Great Oak Room, The Small Oak Room and The Bedroom
The Georgian Rooms include a Print Room, Parlour and Reception Room
The Exhibition Room contains a display on the Red Lodge Girls Reform School
The Knot Garden is the walled garden at the Red Lodge and is an excellent example of a re-created Elizabethan-style knot garden with herbaceous borders.
Red Lodge is open Saturday - Wednesday from 10am until 5pm. (Thursday and Friday closed)
