John Wesley's New Room

Wonderful Methodist Church, were John Wesley preached. This was the very first Methodist Church.
Lovely cafe at the back of the chapel were wholesome snacks can be had.
Nice shop and well worth having a look at the museum. 10/10

evangelist, who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.

A splendid little museum dedicated to John Wesley, a dead chap of many talents. Guides/volunteers have a wealth of knowledge and are very helpful. I enjoyed learning about the Methodist church and John's outdoor preaching.
I continue to live in hope that one day there'll be a museum all about me in Bristol, but I seem to have a bit of an image problem at the moment. I'm working hard to rectify that.

Standing in the first ever Methodist Church built was just humbling and I felt very blessed by God. I prayed in the Church auditorium, I sang and took pictures with my wife. We have been blessed to have just chanced on it. I believe it is a Holy Place to rededicate one's life to Jesus Christ our Saviour

A place of history but also a place to relax, in the coffee shop. On a cold December day, the home-made soup did its job! Friendly staff, too.

The food was tasty and we were served very quickly. A lovely calm space.

I’m giving this a 3 star because of modern adaptations. I love the place, the history is incomparable.

The issue is that they are using this space in advertisements for anti-Christian events. For example they are openly welcoming LGBTQ+ couples attending the church and hosting pride events.

I’m all for LGBTQ+ events happening outside the church because why should everyone have to live a Christian life that’s not a Christian? But the issue comes when churches try to change the bible to adapt to the current world.

John Wesley lived to spread the gospel, the gospel is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We must stop changing the bible to fit the world - but change the world to fit the bible. As it’s commanded in the bible. It’s Christian 101.

Really good museum, working on Mondays, etc (not like the Bristol museum, art gallery). Lovely to see it
