What Visitors Say About Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings Here's what visitors have to say about the Flaxmill Maltings: "Appealed to three generations of our family. Not many places do that!" "We had a lot of fun. We took 3 teenagers with us, there was a lot of reading but the interactive features were really good." "Interesting and unusual historic building. Excellent cafe and free parking" "This is an extraordinary place with an extraordinary welcome. We are in the cafe and visited the museum, and every member of staff we encountered was just filled with passion about what they do. The museum is filled with really, really impressive and interactive displays." |
