Sharpe’s Pottery Museum brings local heritage to life with activity days aimed at families and community members. Visitors can try pottery demonstrations, participate in craft workshops, and enjoy exhibitions showcasing Swadlincote’s rich industrial history.
It’s a proper mix of learning and entertainment — educational for kids but enjoyable for adults too. Local families often make a day of it, pairing the museum visit with a stroll around the heritage site.
