An incredible day out! This place is definitely worth a visit! The many sculptures are absolutely brilliant! The craftsmanship is excellent! What a brilliant idea for using scrap metal! Dog friendly, great food in the cafe, our lunch was so good!
Highly recommend a visit here 🙂

Overall fabulous experience, enjoyed every moment of my visit. Epic sculptures and fantastic displays for all ages to adore. Very creative and well thought through and love how it helps the environment by using scrapped metal which is a bonus. Lovely quaint/ cafe, delicious foods/drinks and great atmosphere. Beautiful shop with loads of goodies to buy either as gifts or for yourself. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible day out with the kids - who were still talking about all the awesome Sculptures they had seen for a day or two after! Plenty of outdoor space for them to run around, and take pictures with their favourite Transformers and Super Heroes! Incredible to see the Knife Angel in person, and some other very thought provoking art works! A hidden gem of Shropshire! - oh and the cakes were incredible!🤤

Why have we not visited before? This is an absolute gem of a place with so much to see.
The exhibits are outstanding and you could wander around for hours.
The staff were really friendly and helpful and added to the visit.
The cafe is really good and the food excellent.
We will definitely return a great visit 👍

Amazing place... amazing service... amazing food... Everything and everyone deserves 6*. The outdoor sculpture park is easy to navigate with the map of all attractions and places. Depends on the weather you may need good walking shoes. If you are fan of the art make sure that you have some money.... lovely place to buy beautiful things and gifts..

Free on any day other than a Saturday - but I don’t resent paying.

Food was excellent

The venue was way better than I could have imagined. We picked it as somewhere to stop off during travelling elsewhere and it proved to be the highlight.

Highly recommend anyone seeing this review makes a visit.

I took so many photos because there was so much to see. 60 acres and so many exhibits that you couldn’t possibly take them all in at one visit.

Make sure you pick good weather if you’re going to make the most of the venue - there are indoor sections but the most significant aspects are outside.

This has been highly on my visit list since seeing their outstanding afternoon teas go viral on social media, but I had also followed them for a while since finding out they were the creators of the knife Angel (an angel created using confiscated knives and weapons from the police to raise awareness and help tackle knife crime) I have followed their socials for a while and was excited to visit and see their other sculptures. Price point to visit is really good value. The site is quite big and there are good walking trails to follow around and take in all the sculptures. I love how educational the site is also, with the endangered area giving so much information around animals in the world that need saving, but also how much waste there is in world. Sculptures all over the site give information regarding waste and ways we can help. The highlight for me was the toy story characters and the superheroes. We visited the café for lunch, we missed the boat to book in for an afternoon tea (book in well in advance for this) but we absolute loved our lunch and it was fantastic quality and price point, I had the soup of the day with a cheese scone (it also came with bread, which I asked not to have) and my husband had the fish finger sanwhich with chips, really taste and fab chips. Food was great and I would happily eat here if in the area again. Cakes looked incredible but we were too full from lunch to try squeeze any in. The site is well worth a visit and you can spend many hours here as a family.
