Enjoy the past, buy the present and treasure the experience. Wedgwood is a name recognised instantly around the world. Josiah Wedgwood, the 'Father of English Potters', founded the company in 1759. The Wedgwood Visitor Centre and Museum offers a unique chance to immerse yourself in the heritage of Britain's greatest ceramics company.

The award winning facilities combine 250 years of history, craftsmanship and creativity into a rich experience that all ages can enjoy including factory tours, crafts skills demonstrations, create your own masterpiece, stunning museum galleries, a fine art collection, excellent shopping facilities, and a superb restaurant.

An impressive Factory Outlet is now open on the Wedgwood Visitor Centre site. The 8,000 sq ft store stocks a wide range of the company's luxury products at vastly reduced prices all uniquely displayed on old factory fittings in an original factory.
