My Aunt and I had the most wonderful couple of hours at Walsall’s Leather Museum, we even found a Great Aunt of mine amongst the historic photographs. The staff were all so helpful and I would like to thank Paul in particular who took the time to draw on his experience of working here in the industry, to patiently explain all his in depth knowledge and demonstrate his learned skills with such contagious enthusiasm.
The museum is a wonderful reminder of how Walsall was once a world leading leather working town.

Absolutely love this gem of a museum 😍 staff are always friendly. Drinks and food avaliable to buy. Toliets, disabled and baby facilities available. Always clean and well look after. Free admission. Love the workshops when they have them on, at well affordable price. 60p to make a leather keyring, choose your own embossed stamps. Depeding on workshop depends weather you need book in advance or no booking required, usually stasted of so. Left pushchair downstairs when going upstairs.

We took a group of 37 people to the museum for a wonderful visit. The museum is beautifully presented, with a combination of informative displays and evocative workshops. The volunteers gave a fascinating talk with unusual examples of leather and we all got to make a key ring. Good cake and tea rounded it off, including for our vegan and gluten free guests. Would recommend hugely.

I took an adult language class and it proved very popular. It's a lovely setting with lots of artefacts and information. The staff couldn't have been nicer. A big shout out to Ian our guide. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. He even recommended The Painted Bricks pub, which was an excellent way to finish our visit to Walsall. Thank you Walsall Leather Museum. X

We had an absolutely fabulous day out here. The staff are super friendly and helpful, with a special mention for Ian who was so informative and spent ages chatting with us about local history whilst we made some key rings! All of the museum has disabled access and the lift can be accessed with help from a member of staff. This place is full of brilliant local history that should be treasured and preserved for future generations!

We enjoyed a most interesting and informative visit, to go back in time to see what made Walsall great in the leather trade. I came from Walsall and two of my aunts worked in the trade, my mother did Outwork, making wallets, purses and bags at home. My grandsons aged 4 & 8 thought it was to great to get "hands on" and make their own key fobs, and loved hearing about the history of the leather industry. The Museum is well sign posted, there's a public car park opposite, a ideal location. Its free to enter, clean, safe to walk around, and well maintained.

Very informative day about the leather industry. Sad to see so few people there. It will be a shame if we lose places like this. Worth an hour for you to pop in and it's free.
