The Main Event

Treat someone to a day of heritage, creativity, and craftsmanship with two guided tours at the iconic World of Wedgwood in Stoke-on-Trent.

This experience includes a full V&A Wedgwood Collection Guided Tour and a fascinating 45-minute factory tour, offering a rare chance to go behind the scenes at the home of one of Britain’s most iconic ceramic brands.

On the factory tour, visitors will step into the original 1940s Wedgwood factory to watch skilled artisans at work. From casting and glazing to decorating and gilding, every part of the process is a masterclass in craftsmanship. It’s also the perfect place to learn more about jasperware, the distinctive style invented by Josiah Wedgwood I that helped shape the reputation of British pottery around the world.

The museum galleries are just as inspiring. World of Wedgwood interactors will guide through the V&A Wedgwood Collection galleries that are packed with over 250 years of history. You can follow the story of Josiah Wedgwood I, his innovations, family life, and the incredible influence he had on design and manufacturing. Beautiful displays of ceramic pieces, patterns, and artwork bring the past to life, from the 18th century to the present day.

Whether you're buying for a friend who loves history, a parent who appreciates fine design, or someone who enjoys discovering how things are made, this experience makes a unique and meaningful gift. It’s also a brilliant option for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply a unique day out.
