A great museum which has fascinating displays explaining the history of glass manufacturing in the area. There are also collections of both old and new glassware, plus artists working on site with glass.

We very much enjoyed our visit here while family was in town. Kevin lead us around with interesting discussions about the various pieces and associated history. Would love to return especially for a workshop and to watch the artists work. Highly recommend stopping by - you won't regret it.

Visited as part of a pre booked group of 30. Warm welcome on arrival, with tea, coffee & biscuits supplied. Volunteers & staff all very welcoming, friendly, well informed about the history & current circumstances about Glass manufacturing, & obviously enjoyed sharing their intetest with visitors. The museum has an excellent & varied collection of glass items, from a pre history icon, Roman, Egyptian, Bavarian, & later British glass utensils. The tour explains how glass production probably started, the vital ingredients, & processes. They highlight the variations across the centuries & historic periods, up to modern day, & artistic creations. On site is a franchise glass production business, & visitors can watch whilst the very talented crafts people produce awesome items. Visitors can buy from the workshop, or from an online range of artisan items. There is also a very talented glass designer on site. The museum has a small shop, that sells a small selection of local products & donated pre-owned glass items at 'charity shop' prices. The museum sets up interesting 'glass related' exhibitions, that regularly changes. As part of the booking, the museum also laid on a light cold lunch. There is good parking on site, with suitable facilities for less mobile visitors. Overall, a fascinating & enjoyable 3 hour visit.

A lovely museum with amazing glass on show. They also offer history walks, tunnel tours and craft sessions. The photo below was made in a glass applique workshop. Loved it.

Fantastic visit to this lovely museum. A real hidden gem. The glass making demonstration by Madeleine and Scarlet was fascinating. They were so friendly, explaining what they were doing and answering questions. Lovely history of glass with beautiful items in display. A great contemporary area with amazing pieces that made you wonder "how did they do that!?" Friendly staff all round. Highly recommend.
