If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts

This splendid courtyard building of brick and slate was built as stabling for the fifth Earl Ferrers between 1760 and 1780. Besides accommodation for about forty horses there were two granaries, a large dovecote, carriage houses, a blacksmith's shop, and living quarters for single men.
In 1974 our first potter moved in and the centre has developed steadily since then. These are workshops, where things are made and repaired; we have not allowed the complex to drift down the retail route, and in this way we remain unique. There is much to see here in what we believe to be the largest concentration of craftspeople in Britain.
