Suitable for all ages, the self-guided factory tour lets you see every stage of the making process at both shop-floor level and from special overhead walkways. Their family-friendly Visitor Center showcases the unique story of Dartington and its products through six decades -from 1967 to the present day. There’s a lot to see and do for all ages, with live demonstrations, creative activities and fascinating displays. You can even create your own special souvenir piece in their glass-painting studio.
