COUNTDOWN TO...
BUNYAN MEETING
Home to a thriving church, a world-famous museum, and a dynamic community gallery.
Welcome to the John Bunyan Museum & Library
Visit our inspiring museum and discover the story of the Bedford preacher whose writings touched the world and continue to inspire.
John Bunyan wrote a book that transformed literature, and inspired people the world over; The Pilgrim’s Progress. Imprisoned for his beliefs, as a prisoner of conscience, his books and personal example helped transform the way ordinary people worshipped, empowering them and their communities.
From rural Bedfordshire to world-renown, from pulpit to prison, and from fiery sermons to tales of great beasts and giants – his life and times make for an amazing and colourful story.
The Museum is OPEN
Tuesdays- Saturdays
11am - 4pm (Closed Good Friday)
