Coalport China Museum

Coalport China Museum houses vast displays of two centuries of china, and is home to National collections of Caughley and Coalport. Experience much more; with demonstrations of traditional ceramic techniques that reveal the secrets of ceramic production.

Coalport was once one of the country's largest porcelain manufacturers, with a worldwide reputation for fine china. Today the award-winning museum includes a range of exhibits tracing the history of the factory and the lives and working conditions of its workforce. In the old workshops, china painting, clay modelling and china flower making take place regularly and pre-booked one-day courses are available, with expert tuition and museum entry for the enjoyment of children and adults of all ages.

Children will love their own special gallery, where they'll find plenty to discover; dressing up, puzzles and a small soft play area. During most school holidays you can drop-in to the creative workshops and have a go at a range of ceramic techniques. Decorate a mug or plate with your own designs or sculpt with clay.
