National Trust have announced that Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron and the Furnace Kitchen will be reopening on Wednesday 20 May and Blists Hill Victorian Town is opening on Thursday 21 May.

Commenting on the opening, the trust have said: "We've worked hard to get Blists Hill open in time for half-term as we know how many visitors, young and old like to visit in the holidays.

"Over the coming months, we’ll be reintroducing popular activities and demonstrations, while also introducing new ones shaped by your feedback.

"Initially, all visitors will need to pre-book to visit Blists Hill. Booking will be free for National Trust members and IGMT Pass/Pass Plus holders - but you do still need to book!

"We are hopeful that as soon as work to upgrade the IT infrastructure is complete, this will no longer be the case, and will keep you updated on progress.

"Bookings can be made via the Ironbridge Gorge website where you can find out more and plan your visit.

"We know that everyone who loves Ironbridge Gorge will be happy to hear this news. Thank you for your patience while we've worked on what has been a complicated transfer - it'll be lovely to see you all again."
