About

House of Marbles is a FREE family-friendly and dog-friendly destination visit in Devon with ample free parking.

Open year round, there are lots of marble-ous things for the whole family to see and do. Our working glassworks on site is just one of many reasons to visit us, alongside the variety of interactive marble runs and other fun finds such as our huge floating marble. Our shop stocks lots of fun and unusual products, making us a great place to visit for unique gift ideas, to treat the kids or even for a little treat for yourself and if you are tired, hungry or thirsty after all of that then our fully licensed daytime restaurant is a perfect place to rest those feet and take refreshments! If you’re looking for something a little more educational then you’ll be amazed to discover the rich history of our site with museums of marbles, glass, games and pottery which are also free to enter, plus 3 rare listed kilns.

Find us on the edge of Dartmoor in Bovey Tracey, just off the A38 so we are an ideal stop on your way to or from holiday in Devon or Cornwall.

Should you wish to dine with us during your visit then we recommend booking a table in advance on 01626 831320 - especially during peak season. We welcome Coach parties (pre-bookings recommended).
