The Magic Attic
About This Museum
People don't just come to The Magic Attic for history; they come for the stories, the kind you can almost feel whispering from the old brickwork. It's a place that feels more like a discovery in your own backyard than a formal institution. You'll find yourself charmed by the sheer intimacy of it, where every object, from a humble piece of pottery to a faded photograph, seems to have a direct line to Swadlincote's past. It’s a wonderfully personal and engaging little museum that proves you don't need grandeur to be captivating.
Collection Highlights
The real magic is in the details: the stunning collection of local porcelain and glassware that shimmers under the lights, and the reconstructed Victorian-era room that lets you step right into a moment frozen in time.
