The Spode dynasty played a pivotal role in the rise of England’s ceramics industry, creating an enduring global brand with a brave and distinct approach to homeware design. The Spode Museum opened in 1987 in Stoke, the town in which Josiah Spode I established his pottery business in 1774. It houses over 20,000 ceramic items and an extensive collection of documents spanning 250 years of innovation and creativity. We’re delighted that Spode Museum will be the central hub of this year’s festival.
Nestling in Newcastle-under-Lyme’s leafy Brampton Park, Brampton Museum recently underwent a 2-year £850,000 redevelopment to create a new events space, gallery and other facilities.
The Museum occupies a building originally known as The Firs, a private family residence built in 1855 within extensive grounds.
It has a regular programme of events, exhibitions and displays and is nationally acclaimed.
