Walsall Leather Museum
Latest Reviews
Lived in this area for 30yrs and never been before the easter holidays.
To be honest only went in for to needing to kill some time as my car was that the garage.
But me and my boys had an enjoyable time.... more so than expect all round. And they enjoyed making their own keyrings (the one who double stamped his keyring was offered another go but he said no) And the gentlemen who were upstairs doing the keyrings were lovely having a chat with us and other people.
It was a miserable day out and even sat and had a hot drink before going back out.

Great little place to visit and it's free, they have a cafe and on some dates they do activities for children well worth a visit to learn about Walsall leather history

Great staff, good all round history. They had a nostalgic toy exhibition while we were there which was awesome. We also got to press our own leather key rings which was cool.

A surprisingly fascinating little museum detailing the history of leather manufacturing in Walsall. Sounds dull but honestly worth the trip.

I love the Walsall leather museum, it's super nostalgic for me and hasn't really changed much since I visited on a school trip! Still remember choosing my own piece of leather to take home and embossing a leather key fob. Fun for my little one too, with a game to play looking out for different items throughout the museum to win a prize. Very interesting, and had a great talk with the saddle maker! Also a fab vintage toy collection! Takes you right back to your childhood! Lovely tea rooms, and beautiful items for sale in the gift shop.

Fascinating history about the leather industry in Walsall. Guide was very good & kept my two Grandchildren enthralled throughout our visit, they even got to make their own leather key rings. Well worth a visit & it is free!

My review is purely about the 5* hygiene rated cafe at the museum (located around the side). The cafè is called Claudia's Kitchen and the food is always amazing, the staff are polite🖒🏼
You have a wide range of choices from a selection of cakes and sandwiches, jacket potatoes, traditional Jamacian dishes like jerk chicken, rice n peas and much more; available on different days!
The museum and cafè are both closed on Mondays and Sundays however open ever other day in the week😍 until around 5pm.
The only downside for me is that there is no parking facilities close by to access cafè, except Tesco's where you only get 30mins free then spend £5 in Tesco's.

The leather museum is such a cool place, full of Walsall history. They have activities for you to do like making keyrings and bookmarks etc. They have a lot of schools visiting as well. The cafe is Amazing and i will continue to re visit and promote it.

A bit disappointed with this actually went for afternoon tea, which wasn't the best we have had. The leather museum wasn't what I expected. We thought there would be a large shop selling leather goods but it was very small with a limited stock..
