Group Tour

“We visited Derryglad as part of a weekend group tour of the mid-lands. As a lot of our party were senior citizens they were familiar with many of the items on display. It is a wonderful place, full of amazing items and the owners are great people, so friendly and helpful, with lots of information to share and time to chat with everyone. Well worth a visit for any age group!”
