SIXTY 7 DESIGN HOUSE

Sixty 7 Design House sits just outside Stoke-on-Trent and honestly, it's an oddball in the theme park world - more design studio than screaming-ride venue. The space celebrates 1960s and 70s design culture with a hands-on approach that appeals to adults far more than kids hunting for roller coasters. You'll find yourself surrounded by period furniture, graphic design installations, and interactive exhibits that dig into British design heritage from that era. It's the sort of place where you'll spend two to three hours poking around if you're genuinely interested, or flee after forty minutes if retro aesthetics leave you cold.

Families with teenagers studying art or design will get the most from it. Younger children will find it a bit dry unless they're already design-obsessed. The real draw is understanding how the 60s and 70s shaped the way we live now - the typography, the colour palettes, the furniture that somehow looks both dated and cool.

The site works well as a pitstop during a wider Staffordshire visit. Luzlow Caravan Site and Glamping at Holly Grove Farm are both within easy striking distance if you're basing yourselves for a few days. Pair it with Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics heritage if you want to make a proper day of it. Fair warning: it's niche. Don't roll up expecting theme park thrills.
