The Wilson Kitchen
The Cheltenham Trust is a not-for-profit charity, any surplus we make is reinvested in community events and activities, your support helps us to do even more. Please could we ask you to consider rounding up your bill or making a donation when your visit, thank you.
The Wilson Kitchen is a vibrant arts café on the ground floor offering a dynamic café experience with zoned seating areas. From socialising with friends and family, informal business meetings, to weekend brunches or hot desk working with a laptop, coffee and cake, the arts café provides flexibility in an engaging environment.
Visit our cafe and pick up one of our new loyalty cards across our cafes and bars and we’ll say thank you for your support with a free cup of coffee or tea on us. Purchase six cups of tea or coffee and have a free one on us, and then pick up a new card to start collecting for your next free cup of tea or coffee.
Be inspired by the visual art on display throughout, each painting and artwork is a replica that has been created of pieces in The Wilson’s collection including a colourful museum donated by The Tate London; the painted door showing legendary Cheltenham grocer Mr Whittern; and photographs and artefacts telling the story of explorer Edward Wilson, after whom the art gallery and museum is named. In the comfortable lounge, wallpaper with a distinctive tulip design has been created, inspired by the Arts and Crafts collection with a 1970s twist, the burnt orange and red colours create a relaxing space.
