We had been planning for a long time to visit Wedgwood, coming from Belgium. We made reservations for the V&A collection, the factory visit and afternoon tea. We were blessed to have Penny and Georgina as our guides, who talked with pride and passion about the history of Wedgwood, the products, the many different steps in creation of these works of art and the people behind it. The collection itself is immense and still expanding. The factory tour is very interesting to see and illustrates the craftsmanship needed to make these precious and often times expensive types of stoneware and porcelain. Our afternoon tea was good, with a nice tea selection. The tea-room next to the shop is a good move from a sales perspective, but the atmosphere therefore isn't very romantic. We would like to thank in particular Penny and Georgina and the nice ladies in the shop for their service, hospitality and good spirit!

Visited the studio for painting some pottery. Staff were so nice and friendly, painted a few pieces all at reasonable prices for each product. You pay for what you paint, rather than just paying to attend which is great. Nice little cafe and factory shop on the campus too.

We decided to stop here on our drive home from the Lake District and we’re so glad we did. Totally free to get in, there is a fascinating V&A display showing the history and collections of Wedgwood. We then wandered up to the clay and painting studio, which is a great area to bring kids on a rainy day. They also let us have a look at the factory which was cool. The shop is also really nice, with lovely displays.

Excellent Tour of the V&A Wedgewood Collection. Julia was brilliant Tour Guide, introducing the Collection through select pieces with such passion and knowledge and bringing in lots of the social history that I enjoy. After Julia's Tour I enjoyed a delicious lunch (generous Club sandwich and tea) in the Tearooms, all of course served on Wedgewood crockery! And then was back into the Collection, using what Julia had taught me to explore again myself. I had thought I'd only be at the Collection for a couple of hours, but was so inspired by the all excellent exhibition, I ended up being there all day. Would highly recommend the Collection Tour - for only £12.50 it is a steal.

Had an amazing time nice variation of drinks and food & enjoyed what I made. XMAS Truck and they give you the option of delivery and collection and if you get it fired it takes up to 4-6 weeks till its done.
