Anstey Wallpaper Company Factory Tour
Anstey Wallpaper Company, Ladybird House, Beeches Lane, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 2NR
Visitors can explore the entire journey of wallpaper production, from our wooden blocks storeroom to traditional and digital printing, and the finishing of individual rolls. The tour also includes a visit to the design studio, where they can see the inception of a design. A highlight for many is witnessing how wallpaper was originally printed using blocks. The building itself boasts a rich history, having once housed the famous Ladybird book factory before transforming into our wallpaper haven. Our tours are personally led by Anstey Wallpaper employees, ensuring a unique and insightful experience.
This year we will be opening our doors on Saturday 14th September
