Description

Are you looking for a Valentine’s or Mate Date with a difference?

Saturday 10th February: 5pm, 6pm, 6.45pm & 7pm

Sunday 11th February: 4pm, 5pm, 5.45pm & 6pm

Join us with a loved one and celebrate Valentine’s weekend with our fun and memorable, four-handed pottery throwing experience. A guaranteed giggle as you create your own pot together on a single Potters’ wheel during this 45-minute experience. Complete your evening with a delicious 3-course Bistro meal and a free glass of fizz (or freshly squeezed orange juice) at Bourne’s Coffee Shop & Bistro.

Left in the skilled hands of our Craft Potter, your Valentine’s pot will be kiln fired and finished in a beautiful Denby glaze ready for you to collect later and to keep as a memory of your experience.

Enjoy table service throughout the evening at Bourne’s, and Laithwaite’s wine by the bottle, plus beer and cider will also be available at an additional cost. A special handcrafted Denby keepsake is also included for each couple.

If this sounds like the experience for you, choose a starter, main and dessert from the Valentine’s Bistro menu and then pre-order your 3-course meal at the booking stage. We can’t wait to welcome you!

*Please note that bookings made for Saturday 10th Feb at 6.45pm and Sunday 11th Feb at 5.45pm will enjoy their Valentine’s Bistro meal before the Pottery Throwing Experience. (Saturday 10th Feb: Bistro Meal at 6.45pm followed by Pottery Throwing at 8pm and Sunday 11th Feb, Bistro Meal at 5.45pm followed by Pottery Throwing at 7pm).

PRICE: £120 per couple (ticket price is for 2 x people).

For £60pp you get to hand-throw a pot together on the Potters’ wheel, which will then be glazed, and kiln fired ready for you to collect later as a memento of your evening. Plus, a delicious homecooked 3-course Bistro meal with a glass of fizz and a special Denby keepsake per couple to take home.  

An additional pot can also be fired for an extra £10 (paid for on the day).

NOTES: Please note that your 45-minute Pottery Throwing Experience will take place on one of our two Potters’ wheels, so your experience may be with other participants or, why not book with another couple or friends and make it a double date?

Aprons will be provided, but please note that the pottery-throwing process can be messy, so any clothing may receive splashes of clay or get clay dust.

On occasion, some pots may crack or break in the kiln firing process and this is beyond our control. In the unfortunate event that this should happen, we will contact you to discuss it.

BOOKINGS: Require a minimum of 48 hours notice

Unfortunately, refunds cannot be given for cancellations. Denby Pottery Village will make every effort to ensure that your Valentine’s Pottery Throwing & Dinner Date goes ahead on the confirmed date and time. However, should unforeseen conditions prevail, an alternative date or time will be offered or a full refund given.
