Monthly outdoor artisan market with around 40 independent makers from across Staffordshire selling handmade jewellery, ceramics, artwork, home goods and gifts.
The World of Wedgwood Artisan Market is back at World of Wedgwood this Sunday, 8 November, from 10 am to 4 pm. It's part of a regular run that takes place on the second Sunday of every month, so if you can't make this one, the next is on 13 December.
The market brings together around 40 independent makers and small businesses from across Staffordshire, all set up in the venue's courtyard. It's a broad mix: handmade jewellery, original artwork, ceramics, home goods, locally produced food, plants, gifts and sweet treats. The best part is that you can actually meet the people behind the work while you browse, rather than just buying something off a shelf. With the December date coming up soon, it's a good spot to start sorting out Christmas gifts from local hands.
If you've never been, the venue itself is worth a look. World of Wedgwood is a gold award-winning tourist destination in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside, home to the city's most prestigious brand and the galleries of the V&A Wedgwood Collection. Beyond the market, there are hands-on Creative Studios, the Wedgwood Factory, the Wedgwood Tea Room, a range of retail outlets and eateries, and the Josiah & Co homeware and gifting shop. The surrounding estate runs into winding canals, rolling hills, lakes and woodland, so it's easy to make a full day of it.
