POTTERY ATTRACTION REVEALS DETAILS OF NEW PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES FOR 2026

- By EVA MILLETT

SHARPE'S Pottery Museum has announced an ambitious programme of events, exhibitions and activities as the South Derbyshire attraction looks ahead to a busy 2026.

The charity-run museum, based in a Grade II listed building in Swadlincote, says it remains committed to celebrating the area's rich ceramic and industrial heritage while offering a growing range of creative and community opportunities.

Managers say the museum is thriving as a cultural hub, with exhibitions, workshops and family events helping to share local stories and support its charitable work.

Income from donations, object “adoptions” and venue hire continues to play a vital role in keeping the museum's heritage alive.
