    OK bit of advice needed here please.

    I'm looking at two places to go Ironbridge ( £18.75 for annual pass ) and Thinktank Science Museum ( £8.40 ) both with concession prices.

    So how do I best do this if it's £2.50 clubcard for £12.50 vouchers ?
    I don't think you can buy an annual pass with the vouchers.

    On the .pdf you download about it it does refer to passports for Ironbridge so I assume that's what it is.

    Ironbridge says not valid for individual site tickets only for the annual passport
    So this where this is not such a good deal for 1 person anyway because for Thinktank Science Museum at £8.40 you would have to hand over a £12.50 voucher & get no change. Same principle with Ironbridge, hand over £12.50 voucher and pay £6,50 cash or 2 £12,50 vouchers and get no change!!

    Yes if you have enough vouchers still just reorder and when you get them send the originals back for refund to your clubcard account

    Doesn't work out the best value but I would still be inclined to hand over the vouchers as £2.50 is getting you the £8.40 ticket and £5 the £18 one. This is still more that 3x the value so as long as you haven't a better use for your vouchers it is still worth it.

    Anyone looking into Ironbridge, please confirm this - the reward tokens are ok for passport tickets - adult £23.25 and concession £18.75. Also anyone any idea if Ironbridge is very big - would I need more than one day there? I am taking my mother as well who is quite slow. Thanks

    Looking at the website for the Ironbridge gorge museums, I think the Tesco tickets are valid for passport tickets but not single entry tickets..

    Ironbridge is very big but well worth going to. Bear in mind the museums aren't all near each other. The passport allows you entry to several museums in the area. We were there a week and didn't manage to see everything.

    Blists Hill Victorian museum is well worth a visit. I would love to go back to the area again. The area is lovely even without the museums to visit.
