A great day out!!

The park itself is very welcoming and the trail is wonderful to walk around. The skill that goes in to each of the sculptors is impeccable. Our kids love visiting this place and the golf carts have a added an element of excitement. The food in the cafe is also wonderful too!

Booking process

I have emailed and telephoned the Ironworks Centre with a view to organising a community group visit next month. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, explaining the process and arranging our booking.

As a group, we are looking forward to attending the centre to view the incredible sculptures, see the museum and, of course, have lunch in the restaurant.

We intend to donate items towards their amazing projects and hope that when we visit again in the future (and I’m sure we will) we may be able to spot one of our items.

I ordered a fire guard in December 2025, I’ve yet to receive the item and have not had a reply to my requests for an update except for automated replies stating that someone will be in contact. One star is being generous.
Update - Rang their office and spoke with Claire who was extremely apologetic for the delay and very helpful in sorting the issue.

Fantastic Educational Trip

Have recently been to visit the Ironworks with my class of Year 3/4 pupils. The children absolutely loved it! There was so much for them to see and do. We did the extinction trail, which tied in with what they had been learning about in science and there are more trails to do. Lots of children loved looking at the the different scrap parts that made up the sculptures. They were 'wowed' by exhibits in the superhero tent.
Prior to the trip, we had very positive communications with staff when booking and with any help or guidance. They were quick to respond to emails. Staff were very friendly on the day too.
The Ironwork Centre is definitely a place to go and take children, it's very educational and fun!

I went with my friends and teachers for an oldbury wells school trip. I have a really good time looking at all the sculptures. The sculptures have the name of the animal, where it is located and a few fun facts about the animal! We ate lunch in the marvel tent and saw lots of funny sculptures around the tent. Overall the trip was amazing, the sculptures were very well detailed, and I highly recommend come here with family and friends!

I had an amazing day out with my friends at Oldbury Wells. The models were stunning and they were so detailed. There was plenty to look at. I would love to go for a third time.

Incredible structures, lovely food and very relaxing setting. I will be bringing my school class here for a visit soon as after seeing the photos they are incredibly inquisitive.

Good customer service

After an initial hiccup with my order, it is nice to know good old fashioned customer service is still around. Thank you Clare for your call and solution.

The stag head is absolutely beautiful. I delayed sending my review as we were making the wooden mount but unfortunately I can’t attach a photo here.
