The biggest display of decorative metalwork in the UK. Featuring live work from the some of the best artists and blacksmiths in the country. The Centre created the world renowned "Spoon Gorilla" made from over 40,000 donated spoons, as seen on the BBC. The Centre was officially opened to visitors in 2014 by HRH Prince Michael of Kent. Donations are welcome for Hope House Children's Hospice. Most recent projects include the "Knife Angel" made from over 100,000 weapons which have been removed from the streets of the United Kingdom, working with national police forces, families affected by knife crime and community action groups to ensure people think twice before carrying a blade.

Wow! What a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful backdrop to the outside sculptures which you can hire a buggy and go around if you don't fancy walking. The inside sculptures are placed all over, dont forget to look up too! Great Christmas area for gifts and the tea room entices you with the smells of fresh coffee and warm scones when you walk in. Fantastic place to visit, I will be back for more... plenty of parking, very friendly and informative team of staff with a selection of outside garden pots and ornaments for sale so you can take something home too.

The place is unique as it used to be a school and was converted into a visitor centre for The Bog which was a giant mining site from 1700s to 1922. It has a small cafe, info on the walking trails, free parking nearby, and bathrooms. The center also has some historical aspects such as a geological garden, historical photographs, and part of the aerial that used to haul the mine's product.

Visited as a family of 4. Good free parking facilities. The centre has some great displays and the short film is very interesting. The shop and cafeteria are well stocked with lots of choices and The staff were very helpful and friendly. The walk around the riverside meadows was nice with lots of lovely wild flowers blooming. Great day out for all ages.
