Is there a group of you who would like to take part in a pottery workshop together?
Or fancy doing something different for a birthday, hen do, baby shower or for a company away day and team building activity you may have coming up?
Then I can offer a bespoke workshop package for groups of 2 (minimum) up to groups of 8 (maximum) that would take place in my studio at Middleport Pottery.
For larger groups above 8 and up to 20 people (maximum) I can hire out one of Middleport's function rooms and can build a package that includes tea, coffee, biscuits, a cream tea, lunch or afternoon tea provided by the cafe, subject to availability. Please note if including any of these, prices will differ per person to what is advertised below.
