Gift Aid

You will be asked to pay the Gift Aid admission and complete a Gift Aid declaration unless you request to pay the standard admission

The American Museum & Gardens is a registered charity and runs the Gift Aid scheme. Under the scheme we offer you a choice of two entry tickets. Standard admission and Gift Aid admission. Gift Aid admission includes a voluntary donation of at least 10%. If you are a taxpayer and choose this ticket, we can reclaim 25% tax on the whole amount paid. For example: if you pay an extra £1.50 under the Gift Aid scheme, it is worth £3.50 to the museum.

Want to extend your American adventure?

As a member of the American Museum & Gardens, you’ll be able to enjoy our ever-changing gardens and special exhibitions, enjoy engaging events throughout the year (some additional charges may apply) as well as exploring one of the South West’s unique museum collections.

Each membership gives you free entry to the Museum during normal opening hours. You will also receive a copy of our annual publication America in Britain, an e-newsletter, as well as information on our events and fundraising projects.

By becoming a member you help care for the Museum’s permanent collection, our Grade 1 listed home, (Claverton Manor) and our transformed gardens. We really couldn’t do it without your support.
