The Coffin Works

In its time, the Coffin Works was a Victorian Jewellery Quarter factory and produced some of the world’s finest coffin furniture, including those for many royals. Now a museum, the workbenches are still full of all the original stock and tools of the trade, and with some of the original machinery working again, you can truly experience the sights, sounds and stories of this hidden gem.

Coffin Works host award-winning guided tours as well as various events such as silent movie nights, after-hours tours, craft markets, theatre shows and so much more.
