Just to let you know, as from Saturday 23rd December we’ll be slowing the wheels, stepping away from the clay and putting our feet up for the entire Christmas period! :D

The Pottery will re-open on Tuesday 2nd January and our first Potter’s Wheel Course takes place Saturday 6th January.

..oh and if Santa just happens to gift you one of our fabulous gift vouchers, make sure you don’t dilly dally booking your class or course on our website. We are extremely popular so immediate action is recommended. Get onto it!!

In the meantime, we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy 2024.

The biennial show is set in 5 acres of beautiful grounds with over 400 sculptures created by national and international artists. A percentage of sales are fed back into the local community via generous grants to schools, enabling them to purchase art materials, training and artists to work in school. They also support other charities and since the first show in 2012, have raised over £400, 000 for good causes.

Jon’s displaying a range of his one off garden bees and butterflies, mounted on metal stakes and designed to fly amongst herbaceous boarders and flower beds. Sarah has taken to the trees with her dangly flower bricks suspended from the branches of a cherry tree.

The Exhibition runs 20 – 29 May 2023 and we definitely recommend! Admission is FREE, but you will need to book your visit.

This one was photographed by our very own Sarah from the Pottery car park. Not a cloud in the sky!

Thank you to everybody who has taken the time to review us on all platforms, you are AWESOME!! Over 400 heart warming reviews on Trip Advisor and counting!

Please check out all the lovely things people are saying about us on our tripadvisor listing. In the meantime here’s a few recent glowing recommendations:

“We came for a 2-day weekend course in July and had a fantastic time. The whole weekend was really relaxing and the tution was marvellous. I just wish I could have spent more time! All 3 of us (myself, my son Max and my friend Rachel) do want to come back. I thoroughly recommend this course whether you’re a beginner or not.” Rebecca

Just from reading reviews, I had high expectations for this experience and it certainly lived up to them. My husband and I loved it. Sarah was a great teacher giving us the right balance of clear instruction & expectation, acceptance & encouragement of a novice’s attempts, mixed in with lots of laughter! For someone who failed their pottery GCSE back in the day, I was delighted with my pot and definitely want to do some more. We would certainly encourage anyone else to have a go!” Getaway559539

“I honestly can’t rate this experience highly enough! I took part in the hen do experience, and was dubious that the day would be worth the cost, but it was worth every penny. The morning was spent learning how to use the potter’s wheel (a childhood ambition realised) and we were all able to have as many goes as we wished (although I could quite happily have sat there all day, and the next), and in the afternoon gave our creative sides free rein, learning how to make and paint coil pots. Jon was patient and encouraging, an excellent tutor. I now want to be a potter!” missapples0805
