More Information
1. Often free annual pass upgrades can only be made when full price tickets are purchased and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount. Worth balancing whether you are likely to return later in the year against initial savings you could make on your initial purchase.
2. Please note that many attractions exclude a limited number of special events from their free annual pass upgrade so worth taking note of these dates to avoid disappointment.
3. Often popular visitor attractions run a varied programme of additional events during the school holidays and, whilst these may incur a small additional fee, it does give you the option of returning a number of times to try something new.
4. Always worth checking out the small print as some events are excluded & many state they cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount.
Keep your eyes peeled for 2025 deals!

Can i buy day vouchers for the black country museum
Hi Elizabeth, you can purchase gift membership for the Black Country Living Museum that offers access to the visitor attraction over the year with prices starting from £35 individual membership. I cannot see any information regarding day vouchers so might be worth double checking directly with Black Country Living Museum, Liz
I visited the site today to buy gift vouchers as a Christmas gift for my son & his partner for a one off visit. I was disappointed to find this was not available. I was told I could buy membership but as he does not live locally this would not prove viable. Perhaps you may consider reviewing your policy. I think the site is missing a lucrative opportunity.
Hi Margaret, thanks for your feedback. We at Topdogdays are independent of all visitor attractions including Black Country Living Museum, (we simply let you know where the deals can be found), but disappointing to learn that day vouchers are not available as a gift option, Liz
I’ve wanted to visit the museum, but everyone I asked to come with me has declined. It’s my birthday on Thursday (3/8/63) I’ve booked the crochet workshop. Is there any possibility of a discount on the entrance fee? I will be visiting on my own. Regardless of any discount, I’m really looking forward to my day out!
Hi, Topdogdays is independent of the Black Country Living Museum and cannot authorise discounts – we simply let you know where the deals are running. We hope you enjoy your day & workshop:)
Hi I was wondering if there is any 2 for 1 tickets coming available now the school holidays are over
Hi Lesley, the only 2 for 1 voucher for Black Country Living Museum that I can see is from daysoutguide if you travel by train. Their signature deal is a free 12 month annual pass upgrade when you purchase a full price ticket that offers value for money if you can visit more than once within the year.
i was wondering is there 2 for 1 tickets for black country museum for nxt week or end of may or june plz
Hi Susen, we’re finding it increasingly difficult to get hold of a 2 for 1 voucher for Black Country Living Museum. The only 2 for 1 voucher we can see is if you travel by train and present a downloaded 2 for 1 voucher in conjunction with valid train tickets on the day of your visit. Alternatively, children (6-15 years) with a Blue Peter badge and accompanying badge card can gain free entry at the Black Country Living Museum when accompanied by a full paying adult. The main deal that the BCLM offer is that you can receive a FREE annual pass upgrade when you purchase full price tickets that can offer substantial savings on future visits.
Hi do you have any vouchers ( 2 for 1 ) we will be travelling by car kind regards sue
Do you have any vouchers ( 2 for 1 ) for BCLM we are thinking of going in the next couple of days ( travelling by car ) kind regards Sue
Hi Sue, unfortunately I cannot see any 2 for 1 vouchers for the Black Country Living Museum apart from the 2 for 1 if you travel by train. Also of note that 2 for 1 vouchers cannot be used on bank holidays at BCLM. Their best deal tends to be the free annual pass upgrade that can offer considerable savings for those planning subsequent visits.
any update if moms go free on mothers day? we re thinking off this day and need to organize tesco vouchers
Hi Lynda, unfortunately I haven’t come across a mums go free offer for the Black County Living Museum this year but will sure to update if we see anything in the next few days. You can see all our Mums Go Free offers on our Mother’s Day Deals page.
I will be using this in 2wks as my partner and I are visiting bclm whilst visiting friends in telford and we were planning yearly pass as its cheaper
Hi Joanna, the free annual upgrade for the black country living museum is such good value for money isn’t it, glad it is going to work out for you. Enjoy your day:)
my wife and i are looking for a 2 for 1 deal.preferably not the school hols.
Hi Tony, I’ve just come across a 2 for 1 voucher from Visit Heart of England, (I have updated our Black Country Living Museum page with further details & a link). Alternatively, if you travel by train you can also pick up a 2 for 1 for BCLM.
I am in the process of organising a 50+ seat coach trip to Black Country Museum in August 2013. Can you advise me regarding ticket prices and offers please. A brochure would be helpful.
Thank you,
Gill Cattley
Hi Gill, Topdogdays simply signposts to current deals & discounts and is independent of the Black Country Living Museum. I understand group bookings of 15 or more will secure you a discount but you will need to contact them directly on 0121 520 8054.
