Denby Pottery Village

Did you know that it takes 20 pairs of hands to make every piece of Denby? Join us and fellow members as we go behind the scenes and into the heart of the working Pottery to meet some of the skilled craftspeople at work. Watch as they use time-honoured skills, finessed over 200 years, to transform our local Derbyshire clay into the famous Denby Pottery that you know and love.

Find out why Denby Pottery is so versatile, beautiful and durable and learn some quirky pottery-making terms, such as sponging, jollying and fettling on your journey around our fascinating pottery, in this unforgettable experience.
