ABOUT MIDDLEPORT POTTERY

Middleport Pottery is a charity-owned visitor attraction in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent. Situated next to the Trent & Mersey Canal,

Middleport Pottery was built by Burgess & Leigh in the late nineteenth century. This Grade II*-listed pottery is the UK’s last working Victorian potbank in continuous production, and after 130 years Middleport Pottery remains home to world-famous Burleigh pottery that is all made here onsite.

Through public and private funding, Middleport Pottery was saved from closure and underwent substantial remodelling and renovation, transforming it into a visitor attraction and centre for creative businesses. Middleport Pottery now offers its visitors so much to see & do.

Visitors can take part in heritage or factory tours, have something to eat at The Packing House Café, explore Middleport Studios or treat themselves to something from the Burleigh Factory shop (open tue-sun). It’s a great day out for all the family.
