Following a £1.4m refurbishment, made possible thanks to funding from Advantage West Midlands, the site that once was home to the glass trade greats of Royal Doulton and Webb Corbett is continuing to help the glass trade thrive in Stourbridge. The Ruskin Glass Centre is home to a wide array of glass crafts; from glassblowing, respected studio glass artists, stained glass, engravers, glass decorato

rs, glass enamels and glass repair specialists to the diverse yet complementary trades of creative woodwork, handmade soap, cake making, jewellery, textiles, printmaking, stone carving and publishing.

Black Country Touring presents 'CAPE CUSTARD' A Lighthouse Adventure.

Thursday 20th August 2026:
Showings at 11:30am, 1pm and 3pm

A fun-filled adventure for all the family. Step inside our magical inflatable theatre and be transported to the faraway shores of Cape Custard.

'Cape Custard - A Lighthouse Adventure' is a thrilling, fun-filled quest where our heroes discover that the toughest repairs aren’t always mechanical. It’s a bright, bold, and heartwarming story about bridging the gap with those who feel different, and discovering what truly matters.

This adventurous tale is inspired by the production of lighthouses at Chance Brothers Glassworks in the heart of Smethwick. The factory pioneered the development of lenses that continue to save lives on treacherous seas the world over, from the Cornish coast to Hawaii, and Karachi to Zanzibar.
