People also ask: 

Can I bring my dog?

  • Dogs are allowed to be brought along with you, but can not enter the factory itself

How much is a ticket?

  • Entry into our visitor centre is free and a self guided tour around the factory is £10 

Is there disabled access?

  • The shop, café and visitor centre all have disabled access but unfortunately due to stairs within the factory tour, disabled access is not possible. As this is a working factory this is something that cannot be changed

How long is the tour?

  • We recommend about an hour for the tour itself, but it is certainly worth staying at the site for longer to try the other experiences on-site or to watch the glass-blowers at work
