My recent columns on Girls Getaways to cities and regions beyond London have attracted a considerable amount of interest from travel advisors who like the look of these customised, small group programmes. Filled with memorable, interactive travel experiences, the list currently includes the Viking city of York, the sheep-clad hills of the Cotswolds and the Georgian city of Bath, a wellness centre since Roman times. With others in the pipeline, this week's focus sharpens on an imaginative, hands-on Girls Getaway to the world capital of ceramics, aka Stoke-on-Trent in the northern heart of England.
Getting there is really easy. If you let the train take the strain, the journey time between London Euston and Stoke is just 90 minutes in each direction. If you can take one of the non-stop flights into Manchester, their fast airside/kerbside service will ensure that 45 minutes later, you'll be banging on Wedgwood's door, ready for a welcoming cup of tea/coffee or even their Breakfast Experience!
Use the Read More button and learn more about Jiggers, Jolliers and Sagger-Makers Bottom Knockers, Cow Creamers, Frog Mugs, the Anglo-Saxon Staffordshire Hoard of gold and silver, creating your own masterpiece at Emma Bridgewater and Wedgwood and the 2023 Ceramics Biennial.
