Black Country Living Museum
Awlroight, ow' bist?
At Black Country Living Museum, we connect you with stories. We proudly share why our small region made a big impact on the world and bring Black Country folk back to life, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two.
You will experience sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the Black Country as you explore shops, houses and industrial workshops. With plenty to see and do, you are in for a bostin’ day!
1960s Evening
Saturday 29 June | Step back in time to the Swinging Sixties
Join us for an evening of live bands playing all your favourite 1960s tunes, far out fashion, happening hot-rods and delicious chow as we dance the night away on our new 1940-1960s high street.
Whether you’re a mod, a rocker, or a bit of a square, this shindig’s got the full monty.
1940s Weekend
Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 July | Spend the weekend in wartime Britain
This July sees the return of our ever-popular 1940s Weekend, where you can step back in time and immerse yourself into the sights and sounds of wartime Britain. Make a day and night of it, as the spirit of the ’40s lives on into the evening.
Battle of the Bands
Are you the next Black Country music star?
We’re looking for local, exciting music acts – solo artists, duos, bands – to work with us to develop a repertoire suitable for our heritage environment and historical time periods.
Artists will be shortlisted to participate in our summer competition – with each artist showcasing their work to our high volume of visitors during one of our Summer Lates events.
