The 1796 Circle

The 1796 Circle is for those who are seeking deeper engagement with the museum, its values and future.

Patrons of Dr Jenner’s House

The Patrons of the 1796 Circle play a vital role in safeguarding and advancing the work of Dr Jenner’s House.  Their generous support contributes directly to our major redevelopment programme and helps sustain our ambitious educational and cultural programmes.  They enjoy a closer relationship with the museum, including exclusive events, behind-the-scenes opportunities, and insight into our projects and future development.

By becoming a Patron, you will be joining a community dedicated to preserving Jenner’s pioneering legacy and promoting the continuing importance of vaccination, science and public health.
