Christmas at Ironbridge Gorge

Christmas at Blists Hill 

We're in the process of finalising our plans for Christmas 2026 at Ironbridge Gorge. Events and activities will focus around Blists Hill. We'll be sure to update the website and social media with more details. Check back soon for updates.

Christmas at Blists Hill will run from Saturday 21 November 2026 until Monday 4 January 2027, opening daily from 9am - 4pm, except for Christmas Day and Boxing Day when we will be closed.

The booking system will remain in place for Christmas to help ease numbers in the carpark, and ensure everyone has a comfortable visit. Tickets for Christmas will follow the current booking pattern, with dates and spaces released each Thursday morning, for the next two weeks in advance.

Please note that Blists Hill will be closed from 9 November - 20 November while we decorate the town and set up for Christmas.

We see the back of a man with very short hair, holding up his young son on his hip as they admire a twinkly christmas tree which is slightly out of focus in the background, against a wooden panelled room with large windows.
