Great way to spend a rainy morning! Ann was really helpful before our booking and on the day. We had a really enjoyable morning and we're looking forward to picking up our pottery pieces. I would highly recommend a visit.

We visited here for a pottery party as part of my wife's birthday. My niece had booked it as a surprise so we didn't know what to expect.
