What an absolutely cracking day out. there are loads to see an do, whether the sun is shining or its chucking it down with rain. I have bought an annual pass, as it's worth visiting over and over again. Try the fish and chips in their local chip shop. You'll go back just for them alone! More

Gives you a view of how buildings and shops used to look like. The fish and chips are traditional and to die for and the bakeries chelsea buns are yummy but they are only baked once a day unfortunately and run out of them as soon as they are baked. Overall good day out. More

I was there with a group of American high school students, and they loved it. It's too far for a day trip from London, but if you are in the area - it is worth a visit. Be sure to see the nearby Iron Bridge - lovely! More

We've been several times and always enjoyed it. The passport allows you to revisit, so you don't have to do it all in one day. More

The protesters were there again (See Andrew W's review). It seems they felt discriminated against in one of the shops (info supplied by a staff member). This was a return visit for us after 2 years and we hoped that there was something more to see but I can't think of anything new at all, however any staff members we... More

Blists Hill gets mixed reviews ranging from excellent to poor. I worked there as a demonstrator for two years and to get the best out of the place you need to be armed with the following tips: 1. The museum is interactive.. there are few signs telling you about the exhibits. In order to gain information, you need to talk... More

Loved this little bit of nostalgia - the sweet shop, the chemist and the haberdashery amongst many village features. More

What an absolutely super place! My daughter raved about it after a school visit & we used Tesco vouchers to pay for the Annual Family Passport. Were delighted with the whole experience - staff were friendly & knowledgable about the Victorian period & really brought it to life! We loved the lady in the dressmakers, John in the Tollhouse &...
