Grandparents Jane and Simon DeVillanueva, daughter Emma Ensell and Granddaughter Grace Ensell got a big surprise on Thu 4 May – they were the 9 millionth visitor to Black Country Living Museum! We greeted the lucky family who were then led by Dan to an exclusive VIP ride from Jordan and Ray. They also received free membership to the Museum, fish and chips, drinks in the Bottle & Glass Inn and voucher for the Museum’s gift shop.
Andrew greeted them at the bottom of the site were they posed for a photo. As it turns out, the family first visited in the early 80s and Emma, born in 1978 when the Museum opened, had last visited around 10 years ago.
What a lovely surprise! It sounds cliché but we never win anything! We’ve really enjoyed the VIP treatment – especially the drive around the Museum in the vintage cars. We’re excited to explore the rest of the Museum as we haven’t been in quite a few years. Now with this pass we can come back whenever we like for the entire year – bonus!
