Dip into Stoke-on-Trent’s elegant melting pot of beautiful ceramics, fine museums and fantastic shops.
Stoke-on-Trent is unique – and not just because it is made up of six separate towns. Longton, Fenton, Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley and Stoke all come under the same title, otherwise known as The Potteries.
The name is also a clue to the area’s industrial past and present, a creative melting pot that still produces some of the world’s finest ceramics. In just one city, you’ll find the names you instantly associate with fine china –Wedgwood, Moorcroft and Spode – all jostling for your attention.
Not surprisingly, Stoke-on-Trent takes its shopping very seriously. Almost as seriously as its nightlife, in fact. When the sun goes down, that’s your signal to immerse yourself in the nightly buzz of activity that brings the Cultural Quarter alive. But while the nightlife might tempt you into a bar or two, this is the very heart of England and the countryside never far away.
