Nicknamed ‘The Potteries,’ Stoke on Trent is in fact the World Capital of Ceramics. It is home to a number of award-winning museums, factory tours, and workshops, where you can have a go at making your own. It would be a shame to leave the home of pottery without your own pottery souvenir!
For those that have energy to burn, Stoke on Trent has everything your heart may desire. A selection of indoor pools with chutes and rapids, Europe’s largest skate plaza, wall climbing, and golf centres are just a few of the many activities and attractions that can be found in Stoke.

Alton Towers, the UK’s leading theme park is just a stone’s throw from Stoke on Trent and offers a fun-filled day out. Make the short 30 minute drive and get stuck into the action!
