Bridging the gap between the past and the future our venues and surroundings will bring another dimension to your event, making it memorable, immersive and meaningful. There are ten award-winning Museums spread along the valley beside the wild River Severn - still spanned by the world’s first Iron Bridge.
A huge amount of early industry survives as furnaces, factories, workshops, canals and the settlements of Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge, Jackfield and Coalport.
There are two main sites to choose from when considering your event or meeting: Coalbrookdale, home to the Museum of Iron, Enginuity and the Darby Houses and Blists Hill Victorian Town, complete with authentic 1900’s school, pub, bank, chemist and more. Our team building workshops and activities will add dynamics and energy to whatever you’re planning.
