Great Day Out, Staff So Helpful
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Really interesting to see how all the different processes are done. The Museum was amazing. Difficult to imagine how the company keeps coming up with so many different styles and patterns. I would recommend the day out to my friends and family.
A Pleasurable And Knowledgeable Experience
A relaxing but exciting day from beginning to end. A great opportunity to learn the art and culture of Wedgwood and further, to have a chance to make a pot with assistance from an experienced potter. A great day to spend with friends, family or even on your own. Welcomed by cheerful and helpful staff, provided with a delicious two course meal and a gift from Wedgwood. What more can you ask for??
Excellent Day For Both Of Us
From the first moment we arrived at reception the service was first class, including a complimentary drink and cake. The factory tour was most informative and to see beautiful items being hand crafted in this day and age is a real eye opener. The pot throwing was a real crash course and straight in with both feet (or rather both hands!). Forming the various shapes on the wheel was actually less difficult than expected and enormous fun. Our creations arrived at home safe and sound well within the 3 week deadline. A fantastic day, thank you.
Great Fun, Lots Of Activities
Wedgwood staff were very helpful, polite and attentive and made sure that I enjoyed all activities on offer, starting with tea and fresh shortbread, a gift and welcome letter, and tuition to make a pottery vase. The lunch was a special menu not available to other customers and was very tasty, freshly cooked and well presented. All the employees were happy to explain what they did and show different processes on the factory tour. The shops on site with special 'only available here' products were good for souvenirs. The films and exhibitions gave an interesting and comprehensive view of the history of the Wedgwood factory and individual designs.
Friendly staff, factory tour opened my eyes to pottery making, then came the chance to make my own and get it sent home for everyone to see. Great family day out for bored teenagers or oldies also!

An unusual and outstanding day's experience at Wedgwood where we were treated like royalty, from the driver who took us around the site, to the craftsmen we met in the factory who explained their work and techniques to us, then our lunch in the restaurant and afterwards throwing our own pots in the craft centre. A wonderful day.
The experience was excellent, particularly the staff at the visitor centre. Booking in was straightforward and they made us feel very special. The food was good and service friendly and personal. My general impression was that everyone at the centre appreciated the 'special occasion' aspect of the day.
The day was perfect, staff very friendly and considerate and always available, meal lovely, whole experience was very interesting and enjoyable.
