We were very cordially greted by Paul and his lovely dog which set the tone for a terrific experience. It's a family home which is beautifully decorated for Christmas; all of the 52 rooms are open to the tours and each has it's own theme & Xmas decs, it's often a mish-mash of styles which only adds to its origionality but the overall effect is stunning as is the decor and furnishings. If you are expecting a traditionally furnished period property you maybe disappointed (visit a NT house instead!) but it's a quirky one-off which is very refreshing - Art Deco was once "different". It's very obvious that Paul & Victoria are emensly proud of their home and all the work they've put into it and rightly so, they were extremely genial hosts who went out of their way to make us and our son very welcome going above & beyond to make our experience so positive. Credit must also go to Karen who showed us around, she was fab & so knowledgeable, the time simply flew by.

My 7 year old daughter had such a fabulous evening learning to throw a pot with Alex. He is such a patient and fun teacher who coped admirably with her overflowing enthusiasm. She is thrilled that she made bowls and a cup she will be able to use (once they are finished being fired). Highly recommend this experience and next time I will bring the rest of the family and definitely have a go myself.

Visited with my 9 year old granddaughter during half-term. Beforehand not sure if we would both be happy. Fears completely allayed. We both loved it. There were some quirky machines to keep her happy. History spans from hobby horse to modern carbon racing bikes. All great names of British bike history on display and brought back fantastic memories of the near recent times when everyone cycled. Also reminds us of the time when the UK particularly Coventry, was at the absolute cutting edge of design and manufacture of cycles. Curator really friendly and well laid out with ample explanations. A really pleasant way to spend an hour or so, with very reasonable entrance fee.

What an amazing place - shop, museum, tea shop all in one fascinating place. So much local history is preserved in the shop and surrounding buidings. Museum items sit alongside craft items for sale in a beautifully displayed mix. And great cake! It's definitely worth a dedicated visit.

In March 2016, Grand Pavilion Events CIC - (a not for profit community interest company) became the new operators of the Pavilion. Our aim was to raise the ‘Old Lady’ from the ashes and bring her back into the heart of the community by providing a varied program of Entertainment and Community Events. Our priority is to save the building from an uncertain future by bringing the building back into the hands of the community for which it was built. Since opening the doors in 2016, we have seen over 75,000 visitors to the Pavilion, whilst attracting major acts back to the venue. In October 2018, the Pavilion hosted the annual Bryn Terfel Scholarship Awards final in front of the TV cameras, and watched by thousands across the globe.
