Walsall Leather Museum

Walsall Leather Museum closed to the public in April 2026 and is due to reopen in a new town-centre location. Please see Walsall Council’s website for further details.

Did you know that Walsall was the British leather goods capital? Housed in a restored leather factory, this fascinating museum is an interesting place to go in the West Midlands. Learn how leather goods such as wallets are made, watch craftspeople at work and perhaps try making your own leather keyring (small extra charge applies). In school holidays there are often events and special activities for children.
