Book tickets for the Potfest Melton Mowbray show here.

Operating under the same ethos as the Cumbrian Potfest in the Pens events, Potfest are bringing together 90 ceramics artists for a three-day artisan market in the heart of Melton Mowbray and just in time for your Christmas shopping.



See the work of the well-established alongside the up-and-coming, in an exciting mix of the sophisticated and the raw power of the next generation, combined in a bustling arts market marketplace.

No art hype, no gallery glitz, just potters and public mixing in a down-to-earth setting. Held under cover to save us from the weather!

POTTERS’ COMPETITION

At each of the Potfest shows, the potters are invited to enter a piece of their work that responds to a theme.

The theme for the potters’ competition at all of the 2024 Potfest events is:

Hybrid – a mixture of two different things, resulting in something that has a little bit of both.

Vote for your favourite on the day for a chance to win a free entry to all of the Potfest events for life with a Potfest Passport.
