A great award winning historic place to visit. Plenty to see around the museum and site. Check out the tunnel tour and don't forget to look up in the cone for a wow moment. Excellent friendly staff. After a bite at the well catered cafe, you may consider a wonder along the adjoining canal.
Brilliant place for a visit. A lovely example of a victorian industrial building that's been turned into a museum. Preserving the history along side modern working glass makers. There's a great cafe and direct access to the canal if you fancy a walk along the footpath.
Fantastic few hours out if you like history free parking and free entry great staff and knowledgeable a lovely cafe nice food and drinks one of lovely things is watching the glass bowers there is so much to do with more glass sites not far from each other two nice shops selling glass and nice bits and pieces also a shop selling and two ladies showing people how sewing ie quite unusual in a Heritage site but fantastic to see you can go for a walk along the canal toe path if you like they is a nice pub on the toe path called the Samson &Lion also Nature reserve so you have a choice Stourbridge Glass Museum next’s is Ruskin Glass Centre and Glasshouse Heritage Centre then if you like you can go to the Bonded Warehouse and jump on a canal boat for trip so in all allow a bit of time if you want to in joy this experience some of these place you have to pay to entry
A lovely little place in Wordsley which is free!! I’d definitely recommend visiting, especially for their cafe where their cakes and pastries are gorgeous. I wish there was more to it, I’m really interested in the history of it.
We came here on a bank holiday Monday a few months back and it was a great look at the glass industry! You had the massive glass cone and some of the other workings and a lot of beautiful glass that had been made on site to look at! It was in a beautiful location too right next to the canal! It’s a great place to come and spend a day, they also have a gift shop full of some beautiful vases etc and other sellers on site in their own little shops! Highly recommend!
