Food & drink:

Pick up refreshments and cream teas from Bourne’s takeaway
Bourne’s Coffee Shop & Bistro and the Farm Shop Café will be open as usual serving hot dishes, jacket potatoes, vegetarian options, freshly prepared sandwiches and a selection of cakes and drinks.
Shopping:
Whilst you're enjoying the Pottery Village Fête, visit the Denby Garden Stall for your outdoor plants, the Greedy Pig Butchers for quality, locally sourced meats and if you’re a koi keeper, don’t miss out on a visit to Denby Koi Ponds.
Top up your Denby collections during our Summer Sale (with amazing discounts on selected ranges and items) and see our new ceramics and cookware ranges. Food tastings will also be happening throughout the day in the Farm Shop from Popcorn Kitchen.
Dogs are welcome too and we recommend that you bring cash with you for some of the activities (as there isn’t access to a cashpoint on site).
The Denby Pottery Village offers everything you need for a quick visit to a full day out - we can’t wait to see you there!
