British Ironwork Centre Reviews 

Such a great family day out, great value for money and so much to see. The restaurant is great with a great selection of food and the service was excellent even during busy periods.

I visited the British Ironworks in April 2025 with a small group of students. All of the group very much enjoyed the visit and learnt a lot. I would definitely visit again, either with school or my family.

Fantastic Armillary. Highly recommended.

When considering a destination for a school trip I would highly recommend this place, the British Ironworks showcase perfectly how one person trash is another person's treasure. The artistry and talent has inspired our class to think about creating there own recycled material art work. Fantastic immersive sculpture experience for the children.

What a fantastic place to visit, I came to see if it would be a suitable for a class trip for key stage 2 children and found a fab location with plenty of outdoor space and packed full of inspirational works of art, plenty to get their imaginations firing and the cafe's great too!Can't wait to take my class for a visit next term!

I recently ordered 3 hare silhouettes from the online store. I compared the price of the items with similar ones online, the BIC ones were the lowest price, larger than anywhere else and very good quality Delivery was on the date / time stated and good with good communication from BIC. Overall a very good shopping experience and I will definitely be ordering from them in the future.

Amazing and different place to visit. Food lovely. Dog friendly too.

I ordered a porch light on line was told that it would take some 6/7 weeks for delivery. That was OK I was happy to wait. The lamp was delivered about 6 week later. I took it out of the packing (which was very well done) and noticed that there was a small nut missing from the top of the lamp and in the plastic bag was a nut and washer that was from another part of the lamp. I sent an email but after 4 days no reply. Telephoned for 3 days never got to speak to anyone, eventually I did and he said he would send the nut in fact 2 with a washer. As yet this has not arrived but may come Monday as it was Friday when I eventually got to speak to a person. They have great web page but very poor client help line and why did it take so long to get to speak to a real person? The lamp is very nice and been worth the wait but service 0 points.

A fabulous day for all the family. Supports the local community and we love that it has an educational link and promotes recycling and protecting our environment.
A great day out is always had and always something new to see.

Great place to visit.
Cafe food was really tasty and good value.
Lovely gifts to purchase and home inspiration.
Watch out in the toilets for additional art and surprises!
Positive impact on environment
Do research what they are collecting for and drop your donation into their recycling units.

A good place to visit. The skill in making some of the sculptures is amazing and I'm assuming they're all made by craftsmen there ?
The cafe and shop are good but not cheap..what is today though.
Some sculptures have an anti war theme which is commendable but there was a tank
on a raised area with an Israel Star Of David attached to the rear with what looked like a lone Palestinian Flag on a Pole just in front.
Was this done to give a subliminal anti war message or to suggest the strength of Israel and the weakness of the Palestinians, because the latter is what it suggested to me. Am I alone in thinking this is the intention ?
Maybe the Ironworks Centre should rethink this particular display or provide some balance and create a sculpture(s) that caused this conflict in the first place, and we know why it started. Or would that upset too many people ?
I'm anti war but if I were a Jewish visitor it would upset me. Why not a Russian Tank with. Ukrainian Flag ?

I think this place was an utterly awesome. It’s got a good ethos, it’s interesting, fun, has great shops, fabulous sculptures, great cafe and good service. Very impressive!

The models and figures are amazing and a great place to visit.
Easy to get around even for disabled visitors.
Would have given 5 star except for misleading information on pricing. On Saturday it is still same price for disabled people even though it does not say this when booking and carer has to pay full price.

The sculptures are so well made and definitely look like their real counterpart. The imagination, skill and artwork that goes into each piece is amazing. So proud to have this venue in the vicinity. Every year it gets bigger and busier. The best tourist attraction in N.Shropshire by far.

A brilliant day out for all the family! Any age will love and enjoy!
And the cafe is amazing will def be returning soon

Great day out for all the family, plenty to see and do would recommend a visit.Welcoming attraction well worth going. I give it 10/10
