Say 'I Do' at Middleport Pottery -
Our Wedding Packages and Pricing

Middleport Pottery is the ideal wedding venue for couples who are seeking flexibility and more of a ‘hands-on’ approach to wedding planning. Our adaptable approach to weddings and celebrant occasions means the only limit is your imagination when it comes to planning your dream wedding in the heart of the Potteries.

Two distinct wedding packages are available dependent on the number of guests you plan to invite. Both packages include:

1) Exclusive use of the site in your package from 16:00 on the day of the wedding.
2) Access to the main rooms the day prior to dress the rooms.
3) Use of trestle tables and chairs.
4) Photographer pre-access by arrangement.
6) Car parking facilities.

It's All About those Special Touches -
Additional Extras

And it doesn't stop there! In addition to the hire of the site we can offer a number of wonderful add-ons which can make your special day even more unique. These include:

Hire out Dane – travel in style on the historic narrowboat Dane. Surprise your guests and use Dane in any way you wish throughout the date - arrive or leave in the most unique way or for the special couple and up to 10 guests to relax on after the ceremony.

Bottle Oven Civil Ceremonies – if you are born and bred in Stoke then you may love the idea of having your ceremony inside our remaining bottle oven. Please note that the maximum capacity within the bottle oven is 8 (the marrying couple, 2 registrars, 2 witnesses, one member of staff and one other of your choice).

Hire out the Vintage Van 'Claude' – the Fabulous Fizz Bar provides our wedding bar service but as a fun extra to the standard bar service, you can hire Claude, their converted vintage Citroen Van, the perfect canal-side bar alternative.

If you are interested in any of our add-ons for your wedding please speak to our events manager who will happily provide you with more details.
