If you're visiting Ironbridge this Easter, make sure you don't miss out on our fun family Easter themed events.
From Saturday 9th to Sunday 24th April, see if you can Crack the Code, with an egg-citing Easter trail taking place across a number of our museums sites including Blists Hill Victorian Town, Coalport China Museum, Jackfield Tile Museum, Enginuity and Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron.
Prizes will be on offer for those who can uncover the code hidden on Easter eggs across each site, and those giving the trail a go at more than one site will be entered into a grand prize draw to win a fantastic museum prize.
At Blists Hill Victorian Town, step back in time as you follow a trail of confectionery advertising posters based on original Victorian signage. The trail will run from the 9th-24th April, with prizes available for those who return a completed trail leaflet at the front desk.
For younger visitors, the town's Fairy Trail has been given an Easter twist, which will take you on a guided tour through the woodland in search of the fairy’s hidden chocolate stash. The Fairy Trail guided tour can accommodate groups of up to 15 and should be pre-booked.
You can also have a go at traditional egg dancing alongside some of Blists Hill Victorian Town’s resident townspeople, who will be demonstrating the Victorian Easter dance twice a day at 11am and 2:30pm.
At Coalport China Museum, enjoy a range of themed activities including drop in clay-modelling workshops and the chance to paint your Easter themed clay model; choose from eggs, rabbits, butterflies and flowers.
On Monday 18th April, we'll be hosting a talk focused on the history of hot chocolate, giving attendees the opportunity to find out more about how the chocolate revolution came to Great Britain.
Jackfield Tile Museum will be offering Easter tile decorating workshops using traditional tube lining techniques while across the Gorge, our design and technology centre, Enginuity, will be taken over by buggies, boats and rockets with a range of transport themed activities. Between Saturday 9th and Sunday 24th April you will be able to have a go at making your own flying machine.
This Easter, Annual Passport holders can participate in our workshops and activities at no additional charge (excluding tile decorating workshops).
