Victorian Village - Blists Hill

This is a fantastic place to visit.

Its a working museum with people dressed in traditional clothing and set in a life style victorian village.

There is a bank where you can exchange money for 'old' money to spend in the various shops etc.

There is a chemist, schoolhouse and you can attend a lesson, a farm area, a blacksmith, ironmonger, printers, butcher, baker and yes a candlestick maker!

You can buy pies and pasties etc and bread and cakes all freshly baked that day on the premises.

There is an old fashioned sweetshop with all your old favourites and a village pub with a piano for a great sing a long. Our daughter loves it when the village bobby comes in to do a spot of singing.

Its a really great fun day out and one we have done many times and never tire of.

I asked our daughter if she had the choice of Alton Towers or Victorian Village which she would chose...Victorian Village won hands down.

They are investing more into the village over the last year and from Spring it will have even more, we will be back in Spring to see, i believe they are installing a narrowgauge mining train to tie in with the mine and many other things.

You can buy day tickets or annual passes which represent great value as you can not only go as often as you wnat over a year they also include entrance to all the other Ironbridge Gorge Museums.

There are loads more things i havent emntioned, wouldnt want to ruin your surprises! - You will love this place i'm sure.
