The staff have obviously upped their game. Everyone in the cafe was charming and helpful and the food was delicious. There is so much to intrigue youngsters, from glass blowing, animatronic animals, and of course, wonderful marble runs. A great visit.

Free entry, lovely collection of glass and marbles, glassworks workshop in display, history of marbles and displays were impressive. Warning - though entry is free, you are guaranteed to walk out with quite a few stuff . Little crowded due to holiday, especially the queue for the restaurant

Booked a session to make sparkling birds. Kelsie was an entertaining and patient teacher. Had a great experience learning to shape glass. Can’t wait to see the final product once it is cooled. Booked lunch in the cafe and staff were attentive and helpful.

Friends recommended this place to us and we thought they were winding us up so we went along for a laugh on a rainy day. Well, what a surprisingly fantastic time we had! Such a great place and FREE entry! Plus we could take the dog! The highlight was definitely the glass making workshop where we sat watching them make a vase for over an hour - mesmerising in its skill and beauty. Then spent a fortune in the shop. Lovely cafe too. Can’t wait to go back.

Had a glass making experience today, bought for me for my birthday. Absolutely amazing experience. I was privileged to have Imogen and Jenny as my tutors. They made me feel relaxed and talked me through all the stages of producing my Wave.

This was much bigger than expected. The shop is massive and has a large selection of items, not just marble related. The rest of the rooms are interesting as well and the marble runs, particularly the large one with the pool balls, is really clever and engrossing. The games garden was a little disappointing but it is free so can't really complain. We ate in the restaurant and had savoury/cream tea with a couple of cakes. The food was very nice and there was plenty of it. We would definitely visit again.

My husband is disabled and it was not a planned visit. A member of staff quickly found us a wheelchair to use, very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed a great cream tea in the conservatory, with good and again friendly service. My visiting family really enjoyed seeing the glass blowing (bought a little duck) and viewing the marble runs.

We visited here especially to purchase a keepsake for our dearly departed pet ( if we could find something suitable). This we did and ordered a beautiful glass heart assisted by a lovely sympathetic lady and came away happy that we found something as lovely as we did. There's plenty on offer here at the H.O.M . from traditional board games to unique remote controlled miniature helicopters to the making of beautiful glassware and a small museum and cafe.

Well sign posted, great place to visit with the family. No entrance fee. Shops, restaurant, workshop & dog friendly. Watch fascinating glass blown buy & besitiful things for sale on their shop at good value prices. Definitely recommend
