Simon Pearce

Fodor's Review:

The main attraction in the village is this glassblowing factory, which an Irish glassmaker by the same name set up in 1981 in a restored woolen mill by a waterfall. Water power still drives the factory's furnace. Visitors may take a free self-guided tour of the factory floor and see the glassblowers at work. The store in the mill sells contemporary glass and ceramic tableware and home furnishings, such as glass lamps and clocks. Seconds and discontinued items are reduced 25%. A fine restaurant here uses the Simon Pearce glassware and is justly popular.

  • Open: Store daily 9-9; glassblowing Tues.-Sat. 9-9, Sun. and Mon. 9-5
  • Credit Cards: AE, D, DC, MC, V
