Blists Hill Victorian Town

Blists Hill Victorian Town offers unrivalled possibilities for interesting and unique events in an authentically reconstructed late, Victorian working town.

The Forest Glen Refreshment Pavillion is a beautiful Victorian Pavilion, which together with the adjacent traditional fun fair is a particularly enchanting way to entertain up to 100 guests for an evening.

The nearby New Inn Public House has a Club Room which can provide gas lit dinners for up to 40. Why not meet in the Traditional pub for pre-dinner drinks, perhaps incorporating a sing along at the piano.

If you are interested in entertainment, it is possible to have the singers and actors. They can do a set during pre- dinner drinks or an after dinner show. They can offer shows from Victorian Music Hall, 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and also do ghost events or murder mysteries written specifically for the Blists Hill site.

The whole town at Blists Hill can also be hired as an add-on to events, where your delegates can change their money at the bank into “Victorian‘ tender to spend at the traditional town shops.

As an optional extra during the summer season, you may hire the Victorian Fairground and the horse and cart to really compliment your event.

The following table details how many people can be seated in a range of styles within each of the venues.
