The perfect family day-out. Beautiful gardens, interactive exhibitions and the largest carriage collection in Europe! And it’s free, so you could say, your carriage awaits… There’s so much to discover at Stockwood!
Boasting a thrilling programme of exhibitions, an award-winning carriage display, an outdoor children’s play area and breathtaking walled gardens. Our museum galleries bring the stories of local people to life, dating back from prehistoric times to the present day! Top tip - keep an eye out for the Wenlock Jug, a rare medieval masterpiece. Who knew a jug could tell you so much about Luton?! And our Garden Café is open every day, serving up delicious homegrown food, using fruit and vegetables from our garden.
We also do Afternoon Tea here at Stockwood - as if you needed another excuse to visit... In fact, people love Stockwood Discovery Centre so much it won a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence. We’re really proud of that.
Our car park is big and it’s free! We also have 2 parking bays for coaches and 6 parking bays for disabled badge holders.
