My wife and I visited last week and went on the tour. It was really interesting and lasted about an hour with a great audio guide along with practical things to do. I highly recommend visiting and at the end looking around the shop. We will certainly visit again if in the area.
Visited today & able to bring our dog in too. Took about an hour to walk around, very interesting to learn the history. Given an audio guide which was very good. Were also give a small piece of slate to engrave with a chisel yourself. There are piles upon piles of pieces of slate everywhere, I guess waiting to be used. There were a couple of tradesmen working but they didnt interact. Shop is very good with some beautiful pieces. Cafe on site with indoor & outside seating & a butchers. Needs a bit of a tidy up tbh but interesting to visit. Cost PS7 each for concessions.
Lovely slate shop, able to take a tour and learn the history. Great shop for slate products at good prices as well. Dog friendly also. Worth a visit.
Interesting audio tour of an old slate works, very informative you will know a lot more about slate once you finish! Nice shop too.
What a gem of a place. Fascinating work environment with a tour so you can see things going on. Also really good at awnsering questions on the process they use. Lovely commentary and visuals.
We enjoyed the small but very interesting tour of the place, fascinating to see the equipment and to try our hand at letter carving I was told I'd got the job unlike my husband (gloat, gloat lol) however don't think I would really make the grade The staff were so lovely especially the lady in the shop. Some really lovely items for sale would definitely recommend.
