Visit the Home of British Handmade Crystal Glassware
As the only remaining UK glass factory, Dartington Crystal Torrington is the true home of British glassmaking. Visitors can watch skilled glassmakers in action, creating beautiful things from molten crystal. 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.
