During the day

Shropshire has an excellent entertainment guide called 31days. Activities for children also feature. We recommend you try it to plan for some events before your visit (hint - in the DAY menu select ALL DAYS). You can search for a range of events by subject, such as jazz, children's, music and theatre for any specific day.
Ironbridge Gorge Museums: a true highlight for visitors of all ages. The town of Ironbridge is a genuine UNESCO World Heritage site conservation area, and these museums illustrate its story as the birthplace of industry.		Distance (miles/Km)
