Glazydayz

Glazydayz Pottery-Painting Studio has over 300 pottery items to choose from, with prices starting at £4.00 fully-inclusive. There's plenty of free parking right outside the studio, and plenty of space for buggies and wheelchairs if you rely on wheels to get you around. The studio can seat 30, so large groups are welcome as well as small ones; Glazydayz is also a cafe serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, and light bites. After you paint your pottery it will be glazed and fired for you, which takes a few days; if you're just passing through the area your pottery can be posted to you after firing, & there are also craft activities you can do in the studio and take away with you on the day. Opening hours vary seasonally, so phone Glazydayz or check our website for current opening hours.

Fantastic time on a COVID rainy day with the kids. Everything set out clearly and safe. A clear, engaging explanation for the kids (4,7,9), who loved it. Lovely coffee! And as a bonus, when we had finished one staff member painted special eyes on to our pottery characters making them about 100 times better! Fantastic place, totally recommend.

A fascinating house with a hell of a history, fabulous artwork, treasures and decoration; we had a superb guide Justine and it's one of the best guided tours of its type that I've ever had.

Church Street

Reviewed By ejjg

Such a delightful street, with a tudor school house, butcher's row shop and an Elizabethan painted room just around the corner. Wonderful church at top of street a charming mix of Tudor and Georgian. The Malthouse cafe has great coffee, interesting cakes, tasty breakfast and lunch - we go there regularly and the Prince of Wales pub has good food and drink, atmosphere,wide range of gins. Always seems to be busy, popular and welcoming.

Newbridge Farm Park

Our farm enables families and groups to have fun, safe, quality time together with our friendly animals, activities and play areas. As usual nothing stays the same for long here. Our new Playbarn has been going down well with all our young visitors. Our large selection of friendly, eager to eat out of your hand animals, are waiting to see you! We look forward to seeing you too!

Reviewed By amyjuggles - London, United Kingdom

We spent Good Friday here with our 3 children and the grandparents. It was busy but due to the way the park is spread out, it didn't feel overly crowded. There were plenty of activities which suited both our 5 year old boy and 2 year old twin girls including animal petting and feeding, tractor riding as well as the sandpits, hay bales and all the indoor and outdoor play areas which are dotted around throughout the park. Lots of different animals to see including goats, sheep, llamas, donkeys, chickens and rabbits. There was a special Easter trail which our son thoroughly enjoyed taking part in. We took our own picnic lunch but bought ice creams from the shop. There was plenty to do to keep kids occupied all day and ticket prices were really good value. Thoroughly recommend for a fab family day out.

Butcher Row House Museum

Reviewed By stevewM4116UW - Herefordshire, United Kingdom

Lived near Ledbury for many years and occasionally pop into the town for a bite to eat and beer and have always walked passed this museum. But today, did actually venture in and have a look around this and the heritage centre across the street. It is quite small and won't fill your day like a theme park. But for half an hour, it's gives a very interesting insight to the towns history. The chap in the museum was very friendly and sparked real enthusiasm with my children about the place(and one of them is 17 so takes some doing!!), which made them much more receptive to the exhibition pieces. The museum is all based on donations, so you really don't have anything to loose. Also, it's perfectly located next to the Prince of Wales pub. Ideal if you need a rest after doing all that history stuff :)

Just such a photogenic structure which oozes a sense of social history. In fact, very much in keeping with the rest of Ledbury. Very enjoyable.

A warm welcome greeted us as we were invited to take a seat in the upper room & listen to a short & very informative talk about the painted room by a very knowledgeable guide.The paintings date back to 1560/70 & are in the style of a Tudor knot garden with Biblical texts written above.The paintings lay undiscovered until 1989 so are a real find & a treat to see.Admission is free with donations welcomed.There are other exhibits to see in the upper room as well as small gifts & a guide book to purchase.Well worth a visit.
