Step inside the famous Victorian park brewery in Wolverhampton - home to Banks's since 1875. Join us on a tour of the brewery, visit our extensive shop and finish with some samples of our delicious cask ales. (Booking essential)
Reviewed By Mark K - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom
First thing to say is I've done a few brewery tours in the past including a big ones such as Guinness. However this was probably the best so far!
Unlike other tours where your led around looking through glass at the production, this tour gets you straight onto the shop floor. You're shown the real process, warts and all.
Our tour guide Alex was friendly, knowledgable and ensured everyone had time to look at and take photos of everything they wished to. He was informative and answered any questions the group had.
To top it off you get three half pint vouchers to sample some great ales and 10% off in the brewery shop at the end of the tour.

3. Black Country Living Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4 reviews
Covering 26 acres of former industrial land, Black Country Living Museum is uniquely placed to tell the story of the creation of the world’s first industrial landscape. Over fifty authentic shops, houses and workshops have been carefully reconstructed to preserve the character of the region when its manufacturers bought worldwide fame to Black Country Towns. Take a trip on the tram to explore the canal-side village, where you can meet and chat to the costumed characters. Explore the underground mine and experience the authentic sights, sounds, smells and tastes from the past.

An amazing day out for all the family. Full of Black Country heritage. Canal trips and a trip down the mines are a must do her. Can also get a ride in the old vintage bus. Perfect traditional chippy and sweet shop and of course the pub. Highly recommend

Overall Ratings

Our aim is to provide our clients with individualised, exhilarating falconry experiences, working in companionship with trained birds of prey over a range of beautiful rural landscapes. These include opportunities to join us for Hawk Walks, where our fully trained hawks and knowledgeable handlers will allow you to witness the marvels of flight close up in small, intimate groups, where the emphasis is very much on clients handling and flying the birds. We also offer photography days and full hunting days with goshawks, peregrine falcons and Harris' hawks.

We had a morning Hawk Walk in the Shropshire location near Church Stretton. Nigel was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of opportunities to have contact with and to photograph his Harris' Hawk in action. A really interesting and enjoyable family celebration. Thank you!

Very easy to get to a great range of roses found the rose we wanted, with the very informative staff. Cafe was very nice and did great food, a little on the expensive side but it was great. If your going to go for afternoon tea best to book. Also lots of nice things in the to buy in the shop, staff friendly. Overall a great way to spend an afternoon even if you don’t buy a rose.
9. Bilston Craft Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Reviewed By BarryStonehouse - Stonehouse
The Bilston Craft Gallery is a revelation. The outside is rather a handsome Victorian building but the inside is a superbly lit, elegant space with excellent lighting which was ideal for the felting exhibition. The exhibits themselves were given plenty of space and room to examine each item in some detail. In addition to this special showing, the reception area displayed crafts such as enamelling and metalwork, pottery which were the crafts that made Bilston famous throughout the years. A charming, well informed group of staff and volunteers made the visit even more enjoyable. It is not hard to see why Bilston was chosen for such an important national touring exhibition alongside major venues in London and Manchester. We will certainly return.
10. Moseley Old Hall

Moseley Old Hall is currently closed until 17 February, 2017.
Reviewed By RDS61 - Chester, United Kingdom
Moseley Old Hall is absolutely fascinating; the building dating back to English Civil War. We were taken round the building by the most fantastic tour guide; an elderly gentleman who spoke with such knowledge and passion that kept us all entranced from about 45 mins. He told us all about the history of the house, Charles II ‘s short stay there after the battle of Worcester, and life in the 17th and 18th centuries. The talk was all the more interesting as he frequently told us the origin of common expressions when referring to items in the house, such as a square meal, all above board and sleep tight to mention just a few.
There are picturesque Gardens surrounding the house. There is also a small restaurant that serves a nice selection of basic foods and drinks. Finally they have a shop as well as a room on the site full of secondhand books for sale
I would highly recommend going here. It is only a couple of miles off the M54.
