  • Heritage Revival Fund award our project

    An update for Jacobs Wells Baths

    Jun 27 2025

    We are thrilled to announce we've been awarded one of the first grants through the Heritage Revival Fund, providing match funding for The National Lottery Heritage Fund-supported Development Phase of the Jacobs Wells Baths project. 

    The new £5million Heritage Revival Fund, launched earlier this year is delivered in partnership with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Historic England and Architectural Heritage Fund, helping communities across England to take ownership of historic buildings, to rescue and repurpose them into vibrant spaces that meet modern needs. 

    A Project Development Grant of £78,850 awarded through The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) will enable us to advance plans to transform Jacobs Wells Baths - a much-loved iconic heritage building within Bristol city centre – into a multi-use hub for community, arts, youth and education.  

    This grant is a crucial contribution towards professional fees to help finalise the building’s detailed design and inform the next phase of capital and conservation works. 

    Heritage Minister, Baroness Twycross, said: "The Heritage Revival Fund is rejuvenating abandoned treasures up and down the country. I'm delighted that we have been able to support this through our Arts Everywhere Fund and I look forward to seeing the results of these first fantastic projects, including Jacobs Wells Baths being transformed into a community hub for arts, music and education. By restoring these loved buildings, we're ensuring these local assets can thrive for future generations."

    May 5 2025

    A huge thank you to you all!

    Thank you for your kind contributions.

    We are now looking forward to beginning filming in the next couple of weeks, we will be keeping you all up tot date with our progress as we go.

    I can confirm that I have been busy editing the start of the film and it is looking really good, I'd love to share what is there with you all, but that would spoil the finished product.

    What I can confirm is that once the film is completed it will premiere at The Northern Light Cinema in Wirksworth, dates to be arranged.

    The film will then go on a short Film Festival run and afterwards will go live on the Britflicks channel on Youtube.

    Thanks once again
