Help us preserve Gloucestershire's military history

The Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum is an independent museum dedicated to preserving and sharing the military history of Gloucestershire.

Our collections span more than 300 years, bringing to life the experiences of the soldiers who served with Gloucestershire's regiments.

Donations help us care for these collections, maintain and improve the museum, develop exhibitions and educational resources, and continue sharing these stories with our visitors, schools and wider community.
