Learning at Gladstone Pottery Museum
The last complete Victorian pottery factory in Stoke-on-Trent and also a working museum, this unique site will provide your children with a fantastic hands-on learning experience. Learn about Victorian working conditions for adults and children and watch our demonstrators as they practise traditional skills in clay. There is also a fully furnished Victorian Doctor’s surgery on site and fascinating exhibitions on ceramic tiles and the history of the toilet. Come here for art, history, citizenship and science activities.
