Come visit the Museum in 2021!
At this time the museum is closed but the abbey precinct is
always open and is very popular with ‘dog walkers’.
The Museum is a fascinating place to visit. This historic site
illustrates the rich heritage of the needle and fishing tackle
industries. Models and recreated scenes provide a vivid
illustration of how needles were once made, and how Redditch
once produced 90% of the world’s needles.
Bordesley Abbey Visitor Centre, which is set in an original
reconstructed 16th century barn, tells the extraordinary story of
the Abbey from its development in the 12th century to its
destruction in 1538 by Henry VIII during the dissolution.
