Wheelchair and child friendly place to visit within Sunderland University grounds. It has a gallery showing modern art pieces made of glass. The gentleman 'curator' was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
There is a 'museum' area that shows the history of glass. The information was easy to read and understand.
They had a room that they were using for a craft activity for children.
My favourite part was a glassblowing demonstration where 2 lovely guys produced a glass multicoloured vase.
The restaurant was good quality but maybe a little on the expensive side. The shop had a wide variety of glass items as well as other souvenirs to suit all budgets.
The toilets are clean and there is a disabled one available too.
This centre is fully accessible and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a look visit. We took a walk along the Riverside after where you can see some interesting sculptures.
The National Glass Centre runs a great variety of glass and ceramic classes / workshops. Check the website and be sure to book in advance to guarantee a place. The classes are extremely popular.
