About our Partner Organisations
This event could not be organised without the support of Telford Centre Rotary Club and the Bicycle Hub, the bicycle shop where all shapes and sizes of bicycle live. If it has a pair of wheels (or three) and a set of pedals (or more!) these guys have the advice, expertise and a great friendly attitude to help. Pop in for a chat and get yourself a cuppa, or call on 01952 883 249.
We are also very grateful to Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust for allowing us to base the event at Blists Hill Victorian Town.
The Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust
A fun and informative day out is ensured at the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums. Whether you are interested in fine china, decorative tiles, fun interactives or a Victorian recreated town, it’s all to be found in this stunning World Heritage Site.
Step back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town and chat to the Victorians in their homes, shops and places of work. Marvel at magnificent china displayed in the very buildings in which it was made and see crafts people at work at Coalport China Museum. Walk through the gas lit galleries and period room settings adorned with magnificent tiles at Jackfield Tile Museum. Let your imagination go wild at Enginuity, as you become a design engineer, able to play with huge interactive exhibits. X-ray everyday objects, control a ‘river’ to generate electricity and compete against a robot. Finally cross the world’s first iron bridge and imagine what the area was like during the Industrial Revolution. Throughout the year there are no end of activities, special events and hands-on workshops.
