Over the past three weeks, I've introduced a trio of imaginative ideas for Girls Getaways to the great Viking city of York, the Georgian city of Bath and the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. From the reader responses, they prove to have been very popular and this week, I'm taking you to the World Capital of Ceramics, the city of Stoke on Trent aka The Potteries to the north of central England.
Use the Read More to discover how you can create your own masterpiece at the World of Wedgwood (make sure you see the factory tour filmed by James Shillinglaw, editor of the Insider Travel Report), watch and talk to master craftsmen and women as they show the skills and processes that go into making the finest pottery, enjoy a hands-on experience at the Emma Bridgewater factory and take a private decorative art tour Potteries Museum and Art Gallery to see the world's finest Staffordshire ceramics.
A trip to the Potteries wouldn't be complete without plenty of shopping time in some of the city's many ceramic factory shops and outlets where you can browse and buy exquisite pieces at special prices with world famous names like Wedgwood, Moorcroft, Portmeirion, Royal Stafford, Burleigh, Emma Bridgewater and many other internationally renowned brands.
Read on and let's create a three-night masterpiece in the World Capital of Ceramics. |
