I booked the tour as part of our wedding anniversary day and what a fantastic day this was. It was a very well organised day and exactly as described ++++ Their dedicated staff made it such a memorable day and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. We were helped to throw a pot of our own by a gentleman with such skill and patience, the self guided tour of the centre was fantastic and the food and service in the Ivyhouse restaurant was outstanding. On the table when we went for lunch were also two beautiful pieces of handmade wedgewood jewellery. A big Thanks to all at Wedgewood for such a special day. We would have no hesitation recommending this experience to our family and friends.
Wonderful Wedgwood

I was surprised and delighted with our day at Wedgwood. I have been to many factory tours but Wedgwood was by far the best. The staff were fabulous all day and as soon as you pinned the Red Letter Day badge on it was corporate hospitality all the way. It was the attention to detail that impressed me. When we took morning coffee in the restaurant our reserved table was already laid out for lunch with our gifts in a Wedgwood carrier bag on the table. These were very nice pieces of jewelry.Lunch was waitress served and excellent. The whole Wedgewood museum, restaurant and shops were immaculate and beautifully presented. The pot throwing gentleman was very patient and with his help you went home with a very presentable momento. The experience was forecast to be 2 hours with an hour for lunch. We stayed there for 6 hours and the time flew by. I loved this visit. Absolute value for money and everything that was promised was provided. A rare thing these days.
Wedgwood Wonderful

Plenty of parking including disabled parking opposite the visitor centre entrance. Well organised and a nice welcoming atmosphere with very well presented exhibits in the museum. Factory walking tour was very informative and you could ask questions and speak to the workers. The hands on throwing a pot was very good fun and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The tea and shortbread on arrival was a nice touch. Lunch was very good with good portions and cooked to order. One small gripe,it would have been nice to have a drink included in with the meal as this had to be paid for as an extra. Everything is undercover so the rain won't be a problem except for the short walks between the buildings (there is a mini-bus to get to the factory tour) There is a factory shop as well as the main showroom where you can buy not only Wedgwood but other products as well such as glassware, figurines kitchenware etc. but there was no pressure to buy anything.
A Memorable Day Out

Can't praise the Wedgewood experience highly enough. We arrived at 10am and left at 5pm. Had an excellent lunch and the staff could not have been more helpful. I would recommend this to anyone. Throwing your own pot is not to be missed
Excellent Day Out

Had an excellent day, helped by very friendly staff, excellent food and very interesting visitor centre. Ran out of time so will be using the privelege card to go back to finish off the tour. Particularly enjoyed the master craft area and enjoyed making our pots with the help a very nice man named John. Very pleased with the jewellery gifts, looking forward to our return visit
Great Day Out

We chose a sunny September day and the centre was fairly quiet (no school trips) so we had undivided attention making our pots. The staff treated us like royalty and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

The Wedgwood tour was well organised and the factory is modern and effectively set up for visitors. The staff were welcoming, the restaurant excellent and the demonstrators friendly and knowledgeable. It was good fun throwing a pot. We were not rushed and were able to spend as long as we wanted in the various demonstration sections, the museum and shops. Highly recommended!
A Great Day

We arrived at 10 am and left at 5 pm! After coffee and shortbread we were able to have a look round before being taken by minibus to the factory. The guided tour was very interesting and we saw all aspects of the processes. We were then taken back to the visitor centre where we enjoyed a really nice lunch. It was then time to get our hands dirty and the master craftsman was very patient. I managed to produce a vase and can't wait to see the end result once it has been fired. This brought an end to the organised day but we then visited the museum and went shopping in the factory outlet. Throughout the day all the staff were really friendly and very helpful. All in all an unforgetable experience.
Fabulous Day Out

What a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived at the visitor centre we were made to feel very welcome by all at Wedgwood and guided through the activities with no fuss at all. Lots of fun making our pots, guided by the very lovely Gavin, and the tour of the factory was so interesting to see craftsmen at work. Lunch was delicious and service was great, and what lovely gifts we received! The Museum had an amazing display of beautiful and unusual items and told the history of Wedgwood in a really engaging way. The shopping was great too! We spent about 5 hours there and enjoyed every moment of it. Overall I would recommend this day out highly, it was well organised, relaxing, informative, indulgent and fun!
Fantastic Day Out

This was a birthday gift for my Mother. She was really thrilled to receive it through the post and we both really enjoyed the day. The staff are extremely professional and welcoming, they helped us to make the most of the day. Excellent food, gifts and one to one workshop. Would give this experience more stars if they were there!

We spent a full day at the Wedgwood Visitor Centre and enjoyed every minute. We were made to feel very welcome by all the Wedgwood staff. The tour of the factory was particularly interesting and highlighted the work and skill involved in producing Wedgwood
