Blists Hill Victorian Town

Be transported back to a world of pounds, shillings and pence, where steam engines and horses powered industry and when shops, factories and homes were lit by gas and candles.

Explore our many exhibits and interact with costumed demonstrators and actors.

The site requires 2½ – 3 hours for a visit, covering an area of approximately 50 acres, mostly outdoors. You will need to be adequately dressed for the weather and for walking on unmade roads.
