With over 70 acres of sculpture park and the UK’s largest collection of decorative metal work – we’re easily one of the most interesting walks around Oswestry! Whether you would like to take a leisurely stroll admiring unique artwork and sculpture, expend some energy exploring our flat cycle paths and many FREE activity trails, enjoy delicious heartwarming food and cakes in our Fabulous Forge Café, visit our Artisan Village of independent crafters or browse our eclectic shop – we have got you covered!
We specialise in creating incredible art and sculpture from scrap and waste! From our legendary Spoon Gorilla, made from 40,000 spoons, our Head On With The Future made from an entire recycled tractor, and our National Anti-violence sculptures made entirely from old discarded weapons!
Each sculpture has its own unique message and aim to educate our visitors on global issues and spread our motto:
Art With Conscience

We also have complimentary dog biscuits available for your furry friends – just ask at the tills.

Children’s Playground
The Adventure Play Area at The Ironworks is a great place for children to burn off some energy during your visit. Designed with younger visitors in mind, it features climbing frames, slides and tunnels that encourage active, imaginative play!
The Ironbridge Open Air Museum of Steel Sculpture, first opened in Coalbrookdale in 1991, was created by Pam Brown and Roy Kitchin. Originally displaying 43 sculptures over 10 acres, this Museum featured incredible artworks created by steel. The Museum closed in 2013, and the British Ironwork Centre wanted to give these sculptures a new lease of life. We took on the sculptures, dismantling and rebuilding each one in our Oswestry location.
