On the second floor was a display of various items used in witchcraft and magic such as a labyrinth stone, voodoo dolls, crystals, palmistry and tarot readings. Entrance was was reasonable. There was no parking area but you can park not too far away. They open at 10am and with last entry at 4:30. It's not really accessible in a wheelchair though there is a small stairlift.

I think your impression of this place will depend upon your point of view. The museum holds a…read morecollection of artifacts that people with no real knowledge about witches would find interesting. It has some information about witch trials, curses, old wives tales, herbal healing, and things like that. I really had no idea what I might find, but I heard so many intriguing things that I had to check it out. It's good that a place like this exists, but I think it just scratches the surface and appeals to the curious drive bys rather than people who are into witchcraft and magic. That said, they have an altar there that has some really great energy in it. Check that out if you are in the area.

This museum is like a little bit of the old-fashioned British tourist industry left over from the…read more1960s, when a typical British Summer holiday would involve driving your petrol-guzzling car around Devon and being entertained by little visitor centres and novelties. It's really rather quaint. However commercial realities have played their part and it isn't perhaps as quaint or picturesque as it may once have been. Teign Valley Glass appear now to make their money by mass-producing simple coloured marbles, but the museum section looks back at a time when glass-blowing and glass-shaping was big business, new, exciting, and a very delicate and sought-after craft. There's also a huge marble run called Snooki, which occupies a whole wall on the inside of the building, in which snooker-ball-sized 'marbles' are constantly circling around a whole variety of different paths in a complex dance. It might sound a bit dull but it's bizarrely captivating, you could watch it for hours. Kids may get frustrated that there isn't much here for them to interact with, it's pretty much all about watching and reading. The shop mainly sells novelties and toys for kids but there is also a 'yard sale' element to it where Teign Valley Glass will sell their seconds (most of which are excellent) at very reduced prices, so it's worth a look. The obligatory cafe is missable.
