It was amazing and a place for children and growm up children like me aged 60. Good for disabled access. Lovely breakfast and those marbles brought back childhood memories

Very enjoyable couple of hours (probably could have spent longer but that's all the time we had). All our grandchildren aged 2 to 5 loved it as did we. The shop has a good mix of items to suit everyone, lots of marbles of course. The marble runs are great to watch. We bought drinks from the cafe which were very reasonably priced and very nice too. All the staff members were lovely, which really makes all the difference. We sat at a bench to enjoy our drinks near the well equipped playground which all the children enjoyed. The glass making area is also interesting to watch. Would recommend.

Excellent place for a family visit. Watching glass blowing, lovely cafe, great outside play area, and lots of interesting marble history and marble runs. Free entry and free parking.

On the way home from our holiday today I decided to take my 46-year-old husband (who is, in reality, a very tall child) to the House of Marbles, as it’s somewhere he has apparently wanted to visit for quite some time. I must say, it’s a lovely place. There’s a fascinating glass workshop where you can watch a very skilled gentleman blowing molten glass into beautiful shapes, a museum and viewing gallery that are free to enter, and plenty to look at while learning about the history of glass and marbles. There are also large marble run tracks which, I quickly discovered, are apparently irresistible to grown men who never quite progressed past the age of twelve. We even stayed for lunch in the restaurant, which was excellent and well worth a visit on its own. However, I would like to offer one small piece of advice to other visitors: keep an eye on your adult children. In my case, the adult child in question completely ignored the clearly visible price signs and happily wandered off to the till clutching a bag of glass marbles like he’d just discovered treasure. The result? My 46-year-old husband has now spent his entire monthly allowance on a bag of glass balls and will not be receiving any more pocket money until next month. All in all, a wonderful place to visit — just be prepared if you bring along a husband with the enthusiasm of a small boy and absolutely no understanding of budgeting.

Absolutely fantastic! FREE parking, FREE to enter and so much to see and learn! Brilliant for people of all ages. Pottery museum, Glass museum and glass blowing demonstrations to enjoy FREE. Hand made marble pick and mix at a brilliant price starting at 5p per marble. Various marble runs throughout the museum are works of art and the giant marble run in the shop is brilliant also. Staff were brilliant and the glass blowers were fascinating to watch and their work is insane!! Coffee shop onsite with some lovely coffee. It was a bit slow getting served but they were busy, so kind of expected. Outdoor games garden for kids of all ages 😂 Toilets and disabled friendly
