FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL SHOWS IN 2023, 24 AND 2025, WE’RE PLEASED CONFIRM THAT POTFEST WILL RETURN TO MELTON MOWBRAY IN 2026.

Operating under the same ethos as the Cumbrian Potfest in the Pens events, we’re bringing together 90 ceramics artists for a three-day artisan market in the heart of  Melton Mowbray and just in time for your Christmas shopping.

See the work of the well-established alongside the up-and-coming, in an exciting mix of the sophisticated and the raw power of the next generation, combined in a bustling arts market marketplace.

No art hype, no gallery glitz, just potters and public mixing in a down-to-earth setting. Held under cover to save us from the weather.
