Blists Hill

Blists Hill Victorian Town

For a real time travel experience this autumn you can’t beat a visit to Blists Hill. Kids adore buying traditional sweets with old-fashioned coins and taking a trip on the horse and cart. The pigs and chickens are firm favourites along with candle-dipping or playing with Victorian toys during the school holidays.

Enginuity Speed at Enginuity

Do you have what it takes to be an Olympic runner? Test your speed and reactions using timing gates and a batak wall, as used by professional sports stars.  Also see how everyday household tools can be turned into 'speedy toys' and enjoy an amazing interactive show featuring  our Belt Sander Drag Racers on Enginuity’s giant 25 metre race track.
