Had a fantastic time back at Xscape Now! Their latest game, Sweeney Todd, is a shining example of excellent Room design! A great variety of interesting and enjoyable puzzles, twisting narrative and surprising reveals and some lovely build quality with both decor and props. All presented by two wonderful hosts with a real and heartfelt desire to provide a brilliant experience! If you're in the area (or even if you're not) this is well worth a visit! Well done you guys, can't wait to see what you cook up next. Hope it's not more meat pies...!

Went to Harry Potter Thursday. A most for Harry Potter fans who came suitably dressed, as where the friendly staff and volunteers. Comfortable seats with everyone suitably socially distanced. A lovely treat in these difficult times and a way to support local business. Throughly recommend, only wish we had been to the showing of the other HP films this was the last one in the series.

Ironbridge Gorge Museums

This scenic area, often used by moviemakers because of its unspoiled, authentic 18th-century architecture, offers several museums that represent a different aspect of Britain's industrial heritage.

Reviewed By LeslieMcC1958 - Radlett, United Kingdom

Good insight to the foundations of our Industrial Age and daily life for people of the time. Victorian village was well done with the actors role playing very well staff and volunteers very friendly and helpful in spite of current times and extra pressures. Glad we came to discover this part of the history and the gorge and bridge too.

Jackfield Tile Museum

Reviewed By eph9 - Aylesbury, United Kingdom

Just visited for the second time and I love it! Such an amazing collection of ceramic tiles and the story and history behind the factory and tiles in general. I spent ages just walking around the showroom room and then the room at the end with so many tiles on display to see. Just beautiful. Made me want to go home and tile something! There were many designs I would love to use in my own home. With my Ironbridge annual ticket, I will try to visit one more time just to look again before my year is up.

The Wrekin

Reviewed By ckn0206

I went up, down and around the Wrekin. It was half term and the on road parking was pretty much gone before 10am although the car park had lots of space. I kept to the main path to the summit. It was on this path I saw most people. At the trig point at the top most people seemed to turn around and descend the same way. I went over the top to pick up a permitted path and return to the car park along the side of the hill. The path down is steep be aware. The permitted path through the woods is lovely and apart from a couple of cyclists (these are not permitted ????) who thought I should have gotten out of their way, it was a wholly enjoyable experience. It was about 4 miles and just over 2 hours
