Two Temple Place is owned and run by  registered charity, the Bulldog Trust. Richard ‘Tigger’ Hoare, who died in 2020, founded the charity in 1983 as a “charity to support charities”, giving millions to small organisations with big hearts.  His philanthropic spirit was never more in evidence than in his purchase of Two Temple Place, which he fell in love with in 1999 and gave to the Bulldog Trust so that its stunning interiors could be enjoyed by the public.

Two Temple Place as part of The Bulldog Trust has a charitable remit and aims to be open and accessible to the public and to all our communities as often as possible during the year, with a range of cultural events and free workshops and arts projects created in partnership with community groups. Two Temple Place also generates commercial income to support this. Your support for Two Temple Place helps us keep the doors open to make this magnificent historic building a vital public resource.
