Schools and Groups - Now Open on Sundays

Children's Groups (Guides, Scouts, St. John Ambulance, etc...)
A trip to Doodlepots is a real hit for children's groups. We find it's easier if they all paint the same type of item eg a plate or a mug, but we're happy to let the leaders choose whatever they think is best for their particular group. If time allows, we take the children in small groups to show them what goes on behind the scenes with the glazing and firing - something they always find interesting. A free drink of squash for each child is always part of the deal, and leaders are offered a free drink also.
