While we get things back up and running under National Trust care, and review how we manage car parking, we're asking everyone to pre-book their visits to Blists Hill Victorian Town and Jackfield Tile Museum.

Group bookings and coaches

We are currently unable to accommodate group bookings and coaches. We aim to reinstate group visits from late summer and will update details of how to make a group booking on the website as soon as we know more.

We are asking everyone to book, including National Trust members and those with valid IGMT Pass, Pass Plus or other reciprocal passes. National Trust members can book both attractions for free, as part of their membership.

Pre-Booking for visits to Blists Hill

Blists Hill remains pre-bookable for all visitors. However, those arriving after 2.30pm no longer need to book in advance. The site is open 10am–5pm, with last admission at 4pm and exhibits closing at 4.30pm.

When you arrive

Parking is free to all visitors.

If you’re arriving by car, please park in the car park and make your way to visitor reception. Once parked, follow signs to the Welcome Centre entrance and continue on foot, where the team will welcome you.

Have your ticket ready to show to staff - either on your phone or a printed copy. If you’re a member or IGMT Pass or Pass Plus Holder, you’ll also need to show your valid card. Parking for Blue Badge holders is located in car park one, closest to the Welcome Centre. There are cycle racks in car park one.

Booking your visit to Jackfield Tile Museum

Initially, visits to Jackfield Tile Museum will be pre-bookable and available at weekends only, starting Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, from 10am–3pm (site closes at 4pm). Visits will include an introductory talk, followed by free-flow access through the exhibits. 

Please note that the museum has several lifts to support access around the site. These are currently unavailable due to a technical issue, which means some areas may not be accessible. If you think this may impact your visit, please contact: ironbridgegorge@nationaltrust.org.uk. We’re working to resolve this as quickly as we can and apologise for any inconvenience. Keep an eye on our Access page for further updates.

All visitors to Jackfield Tile Museum, including National Trust members, will need to book in advance.
