About
The Gordon Russell Design Museum is in one of the furniture designer's former workshops at 15 Russell Square, Broadway, just off the High Street. It tells the story of Gordon Russell and the company that bore his name, through many of his designs. Read our story of the Arts and Crafts movement in the Cotswolds.
It opens from 10am to 4pm, Tuesday to Saturday, and from 11am to 3pm on Sunday, and closes on Mondays. Adults pay £8 (2026), half that with a National Art Pass, and under-16s, students and carers go free. Tickets are bought on the day and let you come back as often as you like for a year.
Children under 12 must be with an adult, and groups should contact the museum in advance; guided tours can be booked for groups. The museum takes cards and Apple Pay only, not cash. Its shop of UK-made crafts and gifts can be visited without a museum ticket, and there is an online shop too. Ramps lead to the main entrance and a lift serves the first floor; there is one unisex toilet, no baby changing and no cloakroom. Call ahead if you have particular needs.
