Throw Open

Come and get creative in Stoke-on-Trent!

Cultural Destinations across Stoke-on-Trent are throwing open their doors and encouraging visitors to get creating and making as part of a special Open Weekend that will celebrate the creativity of the city.

Coming hot on the heels of the final episode of The Great Pottery Throw Down, which is filmed at Stoke-on-Trent’s historic Middleport Pottery, the Open Weekend, which takes place on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March, will give you a unique insight into the creative heritage of our wonderful city, whilst challenging you to make your own creations and memories! 

Heritage buses, provided by the Potteries Omnibus Preservation Society, will also be providing a free shuttle bus service during the weekend between Emma Bridgewater; Gladstone Pottery Museum (Sat 14 only); Middleport Pottery; The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery; The Trentham Estate and World of Wedgwood - giving you the chance to explore, and get creative in, multiple cultural destinations across the city.
