I manage a service for vulnerable adults, we have taken a few small groups to the leather museum over the year and they have absolutely loved it. The staff cannot do enough for our guys. Thank you

Paid a visit here today, I have been trying for many years. Wow it was definitely worth it. I assume it is run by volunteers the guy that showed us around today Ralph was very informative he explained all processes in detail. We were surprised how many quality products were and are still made in the area. All of the staff were very helpfull and we can recommend if you are close by to pay a visit. Another volunteer Awais spent a long time explaining how he got involved with the museum and he has now persevered and had been taught the trade producing some very impressive items.We look forward to another visit in the near future.<br>Brian Simmons

Small and Interesting. The volunteers are well clued up and enthusiastic. Leather ear defenders may be necessary when the school kids are visiting!!!!!

A very interesting and compact museum which details the history of an important West Midlands industry. An array of leather samples and a talk from from the team there with workshops to explore. We made key rings for family members. On the ground floor there is a small cafe and leather items for sale.

This museum is a hidden gem. Situated on the outskirts of Walsall it was a delight from the minute we walked in, the staff were lovely (forgot to ask their names but they all informative and welcoming), the exhibitions are fascinating, there is an opportunity to make a leather key ring (60p! An absolute bargain), the shop sells beautiful leather goods, and the smell of leather permeates throughout the whole museum.

I’ve now realised we missed the garden so we’ll have to go again - which makes me very happy
