From spring 2026, The National Trust will take on the care and management of the places that represent the birthplace of the industrial revolution within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site in Shropshire.
We will be working closely together with The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust during the transition period and will also work with partners up and down the gorge to care for the area, its buildings and collections, creating a fantastic experience for every visitor and a sense of renewal to the local community.
Reopening
There will be a phased reopening of each site over the following months. Whilst we are unable confirm our exact plans, until we are onsite and work is underway; we anticipate the reopening timeline to be as follows:
- Museum of the Gorge and Toll House from late April 2026
- Blists Hill, Museum of Iron and The Old Furnace from mid-May 2026
- Enginuity from summer 2026 (school visits from April 2026)
- Coalport China Museum, Jackfield Tile Museum, Darby Houses, Tar Tunnel and Broseley Pipeworks will follow with phased opening.
We look forward to being able to welcome visitors and will update details of our opening timeline as soon as we know more.
