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!

I did a craft glass making two small Christmas decorations. It was 1.5 hours with approx 12 in the class. Thoroughly enjoyed trying something new. The picture is my decorations before fusing so will tey and remember to post an app free shot. Shop is lovely... Take your credit/debit card or leave it at home 🤣

Wonderfully preserved piece of local history and heritage. The information boards are really interesting and a regular rotation of exhibits keeps things fresh. Craft workshops on site with opportunities to have a go at various glass techniques, or take home a souvenir from your visit. Delicious cafe on site and the Glass Cone staff are helpful and welcoming.

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.
