This was an amazing experience. I especially enjoyed the videos. Despite my living locally for many years, I still learnt a lot from the visit. Well done to the volunteers tooFull review by Alan B

We loved it although it is a few years since we went. Earlier than 2024. Is there any information about how many bricks were used to build the pottery and chimneys.Full review by Andrea C
