Famous for its central glass making role, which has continued to be strong since the Industrial Revolution, Stourbridge is a quaint little town in the West of Dudley. The DW Windows team has had the pleasure of fitting our trusted range of windows, doors, and conservatories plenty of times, and always enjoy the pleasure of taking in the rustic location’s sites. If you ever find yourself passing through or planning to visit soon, here are some of our favourite things to do while there.
1. Visit DW Windows Showroom
A trusted, local team of double glazing fitters and installers, DW Windows is only a short skip away from Stourbridge. If you live within the Stourbridge or surrounding areas and are in need of an upgrade to modern windows, doors, extensions, or more, then why not pay our showroom a visit? There, you can view a full range of double-glazed home improvements before you buy. Plus, our finance options can provide you with your preferred way to pay.
2. Visit the famous Hagley Hall
A popular venue for weddings, parties, and special social events, Hagley Hall is a Grade I listed building in Stourbridge that was completed in the early 18th century. Designed and created by George Lyttelton, the head of the Lyttelton family, it is still owned by George’s descendant, Christopher, but is available for hire for entertainment purposes. Regular guided tours of the historical house take place throughout the week, so check the website for days and times.
3. Give your palate a workout at Sadler’s Brewery
If you’re a fan of craft and home-brewed beer, when visiting Stourbridge, you’ll most definitely want to pop into Sadler’s Brewery to give your palate a run for its money. The brewery has a number of exclusive beers available, all with cool names like Mellow Yellow, Worcester Sorcerer and Citrus Tide to tickle the taste buds of alcohol connoisseurs. They’ve been doing this for well over 100 years, so why not head in to check out their signature drinks?
4. Take a look around The Red House Glass Cone
Sitting directly adjacent to the Stourbridge Canal bridge, The Red House Glass Cone is one of the area’s most eye-catching centrepieces. Originally a place which housed the town’s glass production, the structure has since appeared in films and now plays host to 10 independent creative businesses. Upon visiting, you can look upon the structure in awe, grab a bite to eat at the café, and even watch glass-blowing demonstrations.
5. Go for a swim at Crystal Leisure Centre
Whether just for fun or to improve your lap times, taking a dip into the 25m swimming pool in Stourbridge’s Crystal Leisure Centre is always a great way to relax. For those looking to tone up or break a serious sweat, the centre also has a dedicated gym, squash courts, and other fitness areas to help you stay in shape and stay healthy.
6. Watch Stourbridge F.C. play at War Memorial Athletic Ground
There’s sure to always be a home match at Stourbridge F.C.’s War Memorial Athletic Ground at some point in the week. The team currently play in the Northern Premier League Division and has been going for over 142 years now, so if you’d like to get behind the team and support them, we’d highly recommend it.
