I have wanted to visit for a while so was excited to finally visit. The gift shop is really cute and has nice items to buy. I was worried that we would be in and out of the museum in ten minutes as it didn’t look very big. However, there are room guides in every room and they are so knowledgeable and know so much. It was truly fascinating and I learned so much. The volunteers really make it special and we had Mark, Adam, Patricia and Cornelius who were brilliant. I definitely recommend a visit. It cost £8 and it was completely worth it. We ended up being in there for over two hours. Thank you for making such a wonderful experience.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. It was really interesting and the tour was really fun. The guy who took us around, Billy, really knew his stuff and made it hugely enjoyable. I found it fascinating and would highly recommend people check it out! I did have to wait for the tour, but this was my fault as I didn’t check when they ran, but it was fine as I just grabbed a cuppa at their lovely little cafe.

Visited here whilst in Birmingham for a concert, and thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating and unique slice of Birmingham’s industrial history. Staff were extremely knowledgeable, and there was someone on hand in every part of the factory to chat to visitors and demonstrate the machinery. It was like stepping back in time to the 1960s!
Special thanks to Suzie, who really brought the warehouse and office to life!

Response from the owner 3 months agos

Thank you, Emma! Suzie is a real asset to us, as are all our wonderful volunteers. You can also sign up to our events newsletter by emailing newmanbrothers@coffinworks.org to keep up with what’s going on at the Coffin Works!
Thanks,

I wasn’t sure what to make of a coffin works museum, but it was fantastic. The various workshops and locales were left as a living time capsule. Victorian-era machinery was still in use up to 1997 when production ceased, and the eventual creation of the museum was the former owner/manager Joyce’s dying wish.

The museum itself is well-outfitted, extremely authentic, and charming. However, I found the guides to be superlatively knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic – the best guides I’ve encountered at any museum or attraction in my life.

After a very pleasant 90 minutes or so, it was time for delicious tea and buns in the cozy café, and a unique Coffin Works local ale from the shop.

My deepest thanks to Joe, Sue, Pat, Cornelius, Claire — and other lovely people whose names I didn’t manage to catch — for a lovely afternoon!
