Home - Black Country Living Museum (original) (raw)
Awlroight, ow' bist?
Experience the Black Country of yesteryear as you explore over 250 years of history, from the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity, through living interpretation at Black Country Living Museum in Dudley in the West Midlands.
Mind yer’ head as you go underground in a drift mine, get your toes tapping to 1950s vinyl and watch clay fly at Cricket Field Brickworks. Or perhaps take part in an Edwardian school lesson – but be careful not to get the cane, bab!
Halloween Nights
Bring the whole family along to enjoy a night of tricks and treats around our historic streets and experience a slew of spine-tingling entertainment.
October half term
There’s trouble afoot – we need your investigative skills to help put things to right. From spivs to petty thieves, stay vigilant and help our police detective crack the case. Guilty or not guilty? That’s up to yow!
Christmas
From a cosy night around the fire with your family at Glad Tidings to an exciting search for Father Christmas at our famous Santa Hunts, we’ve got your Christmas all wrapped up!
