A World Heritage Site and the beating heart of the Industrial Revolution, the Ironbridge Gorge is home to some amazing museums that make for an unforgettable experience.
Step back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town and chat to the Victorians in their homes, shops and places of work. See steam machinery at work including a replica of Trevithick's locomotive. Marvel at magnificent china displayed in the very buildings in which it was made and see craftspeople at work at Coalport China Museum. Walk through the gas lit galleries and period room settings adorned with magnificent tiles at Jackfield Tile Museum.
Let your imagination go wild at Enginuity, as you become a design engineer, able to play with huge interactive exhibits. X-ray everyday objects, control a ‘river’ to generate electricity and compete against a robot. Finally cross the world’s first iron bridge and imagine what the area was like during the Industrial Revolution. Throughout the year there are no end of activities, special events and hands-on workshops.
