Make the most of your visit by choosing our exciting Full Denby Experience Package, which includes a fully guided tour of our working pottery and the Denby Museum. You can also build your own day out by adding something to eat, and entry tickets to our Craft Studio where you can get creative too. These optional extras can be added to your experience at the booking stage.
Available to book every Tuesday and Thursday from 10.30am-2pm.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Did you know that it takes 20 pairs of hands to make every piece of Denby? Join your guide and go behind the scenes and into the heart of our working pottery on our award-winning Pottery Tour. Meet some of our brilliant craftspeople along the way and watch as they use time-honoured skills to transform our local Derbyshire clay into the famous Denby Pottery that you know and love. Then, step inside the Denby Museum to follow over 200 years of fascinating history and see some of our most iconic designs and the people who brought them to life in the kiln.
