What We’re All About

If we told you there was a place where you can put your arm in the mouth of a shark, walk with elephants and meet Spiderman and SpongeBob SquarePants, then follow up with a delicious home-baked delicacy – you may think we were getting confused with a dream we had! But you can do all this – and more – at the British Ironwork Centre! Working with a social conscience for our community and nation, we strive to provide an outstanding visitor experience whilst being aware of global and national issues.
