I visisted Poole Pottery as part of a day's outing with my aqua swimming group. I had been before some years ago but when I re-entered the pottery, memories came flooding back. Poole pottery is very nice but quite expensive. There is not a great deal of pottery on display compared with other items that they sell on the site... More

Each time I go to Poole I visit Poole pottery, I love wandering about, they have such interesting items for sale and I love the fact that you can spend big or small, something for everyone. It's such a relaxed atmosphere too no pressure.... I purchased some jewelery and believe it or not some Christmas Decorations (reduced) this time round... More

Great selection of pottery, some unusual and striking designs. There are many other gifts to browse also, such as kitchenware, household trinkets, small furniture items, etc. Make sure you take plenty of money, as it is all a bit too tempting! Our little girl loved looking at all the delights, but I was a little nervous when she was in... More

If you want cheap street market products then this is what you get, otherwise there are plenty of better places to visit in the area. The town could do with more true craft shops to add a sense of interest. After spending so much on the waterfront it seems a pity there isn't much to see. More

When I visited Poole Pottery, it was very large, the full works and worth a visit to see all the amazing glass and ornamental displays. However, in recent years it changed venue so obviously is different now. The Pottery is on the main Poole Quay. The Quay itself is worth a visit though with loads of interesting boats and refreshment... More
