Walsall Leather Museum
Latest Reviews
There aren't many places that you can still visit for free but this is one of them. Although there are paid staff, many/most of the demonstrators are volunteers who give up their time to show you how the work used to be carried out, they are very knowlegible.
The museum often hosts special events for children during school holidays, places are limited though. Also a good place to buy a gift from as they do have a gift shop.

I went for a visit with my children and we were delighted to talk to one of the volunteers who was a war veteran. He had a lot of stories to tell us and he made sure we leaned all about the leather process.
Will visit soon.

its a nice clean place and they have recently spent a lot of money on it but i think it is still only an attraction for school kids which is a shame because we spent a fair while talking to one of the workers who was there back in the day and it was fascinating! We only went as they had a "home of heavy metal" exhibit but ended up qyuite enjoying the rest of the museum!

Good piece of history if you are into textiles but doesn't seem to have been updated much in the last decade or two. An experienced leather worker can be found in part of the museum and has some funny stories to tell - made the experience!

with the weather particularly cold and dreary i decided to take my son aged 5 to the walsall leather museum...we were not disappointed,there were lots to see and hands on demonstrations to keep my child more than entertained..i would certainly say give this attraction a try,there is more to see and do than you would imagine and to top it all its free of charge and acessible from the town.

I needed to kill a few hours and needed a destination. The Museum served the purpose... but really it wasn't THAT exciting. Entrance was free and there were some interesting pieces.
