35 years of Cadbury World: Photos of Birmingham's Bournville attraction through the years on 35th anniversary

Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions

Cadbury celebrated 200 years since it lauched in 2024, with 2025 marking 35 years since Cadbury World opened its doors in Bournville.

Cadbury World was opened on 14 August 1990 by Morgan Anderson on Cadbury's Bournville manufacturing site at a cost of £6 million. Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions. Over 500,000 people visit there each year especially children and students.

It's certainly been an incredible rise for the Cadbury family, with thousands of Brummies playing their part to develop some of the world's favourite treats while working in the Bournville factory throughout the 1900s.

We’ve taken a look back at some photos of Cadbury World through the years.
