Glassmaking in St Helens stretches back more than 150 years, rooted in the town’s industrial heritage and shaped especially by Pilkington’s rise as a global leader in flat‑glass production. The World of Glass showcases this long history through exhibits on traditional techniques and the evolution of local glass industries. We invite you to join us on a private tour of the museum galleries, Tank house 9, and tunnels as well as a live hot glass-blowing demonstration. A buffet lunch is included in the price.
