Took my brother and sister in law a couple of weeks ago. We’d been before. Everyone fascinated by the history of the pottery. Friendly staff. Nice shop. No complaints.

great place for the kids to get there hand dirty making a pot learn how the pottery industry flourished in the UK
Thank you very much for your review, it's great to see kids (and grown ups!) getting their hands dirty and having fun making things with clay.
Been here a couple of times with different groups, so much to see and do and an interesting insight into a lost industry...then just when you think your visit is at an end, there’s a whole other museum on toilets! -so much fun 💩
Thank you your review and your kind comments about the museum. We were glad you enjoyed it - Flushed with Pride is really good fun! We hope to see you again.
Very interesting visit. Staff very warm and knowledgable. The cafe serves nice reasonably priced food. All in all, a really nice day out.
Thank you very much for your review, we were really glad to hear that you enjoyed the museum and cafe.
This my first ever visit to a pottery museum and I enjoyed to see the demonstrations of making clay pots, casting , making flowers and colouring. It will tell 200years history of Pottery industry in England.

£7.75 entrance price, not bad for 2 and a half hours, we just felt that it was too quiet, sunny Saturday afternoon in June and there were barely any staff about. No demonstrations, no staff to engage with about the local history. Wouldn't recommend for...More
We were sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your visit to the museum. We do not have costumed actors but do have demonstrations by pottery professionals as part of the self guided tour around the museum, which include casting, throwing, bone china flowermaking...More
We used a local bus from Hanley and it was well worth the effort. The history aspect is very well done Ithe original factory has been well preserved and some of the displays are very surprising and funny.
