I attended the craft fair at the pottery museum and what a marvellous day it was. I really enjoyed being fully submerged in my hobby. There was lots of lovely chatty staff to help with any issues and I throughly enjoyed meeting past great pottery thrown down contestants. I would say that this place is Very much worth a visit.

Such a great place! Informative boards and films with friendly staff. Lovely to see the big kilns and imagine what it was like with so many of the big chimneys spilling black smoke out. Tea room had great cake at a great price. Go and spend a couple of hours here!

Visited here whilst in the area, was pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed it! Interesting to see how the place was when in its full working ways. Fascinating to see what was done here and how the ppl worked. We did the flower making which we enjoyed, the lady who was doing it was very helpful and friendly. You get to take the flower home with you plus it was only £5. We had a drink and a scone with jam and cream in the cafe. Definitely Recommend going if you are thinking of going!! You won’t be disappointed

Fantastic working museum. See the history of pottery in Stoke. The exhibits were detailed and really helped me imagine what it would have been like working in a pottery. What I couldn't envisage is how bad the air quality must have been when there were over 2000 bottle kilns in Stoke! Entry was cheap and an extra £5 to have a go at pot throwing was well worth it. My 4 year old son also had a go and the instructor did really well letting him do it and also giving sufficient help so that he ended up with a pot. The toilet history exhibit was also really good! Also, if you like the Great British Throwdown then this is where it is filmed!

A fantastic slice of history! It was brilliant to see a working museum in action and to really get a sense of what it must have been like to work there. Lots to look at and read, even my two children enjoyed it. Gladstone Pottery is where they now film the Great Pottery Throwdown, which is what inspired my love of creating ceramics myself. The staff were so informative and friendly...I got chatting to one of them and mentioned that I wanted a plate mould...they happened to have one in their car boot and sold it to me for a great price!!! It's a shame they were all sold out of the little hanging bottle kiln models though.

A really interesting experience. Went with my family and were there for several hours exploring all the things and could have probably stayed even longer if we'd wanted to explore in more depth. The toilet museum was a peculiar surprise and was honestly better than I feel it really should have been. The cafe was quaint and served lovely Staffordshire oatcakes. Would recommend this if you're in the area.
