World of Wedgwood is a world filled with endless experiences. You can shop our Wedgwood Store featuring our exquisite range of Wedgwood products as well as Waterford Crystal, and our popular Factory Outlet featuring Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and Waterford to name a few.
New for October 2021, ‘Josiah and Co’ opened it’s doors; a little shop with a big ambition to put local artisans on the map. The shop showcases the products of over 35 local makers from across Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire.
You can be sure to find unique, forever gifts at World of Wedgwood! In addition to our wonderful shopping opportunities, you can be sure to dine in style here. Our Wedgwood Tea Room offers an eclectic menu for brunch and lunch, comprising of homemade arancini and our iconic afternoon tea. ‘Lunar’ by two Michelin star Chef, Niall Keating, launching 25th November 2021, promises a diverse menu of fine dining in a breath-taking setting.
If that’s not enough for you, join a guided tour of our iconic working factory here in the Potteries, where lots of Wedgwood is still manufactured! Let our knowledgeable tour guide talk you through the manufacturing process as you get up close and personal with our skilled workers on a journey of how it’s made. If you’re more of a hands-on kind of learner, try your hand at throwing your very own pot in our Clay Studio where our host will help you use a potter’s wheel! Our Decorating Studio opens on special occasions like holidays, so you can paint a piece of Wedgwood jasperware. We used water based paints so you can take away your pot on the very same day.
We are also thrilled that what was once the Wedgwood Museum, is now the V&A Wedgwood Collection; home to over 165,000 works of art, ceramics, manuscripts and photographs charting the factory’s history, designs and ceramic production. Around 3,500 objects are on display in the purpose-built museum, showcasing the commercial and aesthetic history of Wedgwood ceramics from iconic jasperware and black basalt vases and ornaments, to bone china tea-sets and classic 20th-century designs.
Throughout the year we also host some marvellous events! 2021 saw our fabulous Summer Market, pop-up food stalls and magical Christmas events. Set in the picturesque village of Barlaston, Staffordshire and surrounded by the Hem Heath Woods, come rain or shine, our whimsicle woodland and nature trail is fit for all ages to enjoy the great outdoors.
