About
A 50-minute guided tour through a working heritage workshop on the Mall: wooden mould-making, crystal blowing, marking, cutting, and engraving. The original 1947 manufacturing facility closed when production moved overseas in 2009; this is the heritage workshop and visitor experience that replaced it. Houses a 12,000 sq ft retail showcase.
Highlights
- ✓See blowing, cutting and engraving in person
- ✓12,000 sq ft retail showcase, the largest Waterford Crystal store anywhere
- ✓Crystal Café and afternoon tea on-site
Tips
- →This is a heritage workshop, not the original 1947 manufacturing line
- →Tour spaces are limited; book online in advance during summer and Winterval
