Each year, a series of lectures is held at the Wedgwood Museum exploring all facets of Wedgwood research, the collections and the history of ‘The Potteries’ in general. Museum staff are joined by celebrity guests to provide an interesting and varied programme of events.

 

In parallel with the more formal calendar, a series of social gatherings is also arranged to provide the opportunity to explore special areas of the collections and for fellow enthusiasts to meet in a totally informal atmosphere.

 

In addition, a full day symposium is organised annually. This will explore a different theme on each occasion.
