Pottery museum voted best to visit

Stoke-on-Trent’s Gladstone Pottery Museum has been named one of the best museums to visit in the UK.

The attraction, the UK’s last surviving complete Victorian coal-fired pottery factory, has taken third place in a list of the UK’s 20 greatest museums in 2026, compiled by global media and publishing brand Time Out.

The filming location for The Great Pottery Throw Down is described as ‘the greatest physical document of Stoke’s ceramic-making heyday’.
