Great family day out, fab cafe and doggy friendly

The centre is a really great way of balancing outside walkies (dos welcomed) with a super cafe - we came for a family day out and really enjoyed the minion trail! Lots to look at and plenty of revisit value as the trails offer a huge variety of sculptures and way to see the site. Something for everyone and a super cafe to refuel.

Visit often

I have been visiting the Ironwork Centre for many years and my toddler loves all the sculptures, especially the Super Heroes! The cafe is a great spot, easy to order with QR code and food comes out quickly. More recently I have been donated tickets for a upcoming fundraiser which I am delighted about!

Educational visit

Visited the centre with a class of 30 Year 1 children on our class trip. The children were in awe of the sculptures. The centre is easy to navigate and the staff are very helpful. Will be visiting again this year with my new class.

Great Day out

We visited on a cold January Day but managed to have an amazing time. I loved all the sculptures especially the Hulk. Its kind of overwhelming how much there is to see and do so I definitely need to revisit as I had an amazing day.
We stopped for lunch which was fantastic with an amazing selection of cakes. I also loved that we could take my dog too. I loved all the little shops especially the lovely lady that sold the plants, we had a long chat she was really interesting and knowledgeable on plants.

Awful customer service

Damaged delivery which was poorly packaged. No reply for a week by email so had to call who then said I would be issued a refund. Over a week later still had no refund and zero communication from company. Terrible service

A few issues but all resolved

Ordered four sets of door knobs and latches. We experienced some problems with the products but after a couple of attempts their customer service staff sorted everything out. The after sales service was excellent but only four stars as promised next day delivery did not arrive next day.
