Ireland - Go Wild Tourism

Spring is in the air at Belleek Pottery

-

We are a shaking off the winter blues at Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre and getting ready for a busy Spring and Summer season. Our tour guides are waiting patiently to take guests on the 30-minute guided tour of the pottery where visitors have an opportunit­y to see first hand how handcrafte­d pieces are carefully created by the crafts men and women that work at Belleek.

From design to completion, visitors get a real sense of the intricate work that takes place at Irelands oldest working pottery. For younger visitors, The Bloomfield Trail is the perfect way to enjoy a tour. A map detailing points of interest along the tour keeps children occupied and interested.

Once you have completed your tour, there is ample opportunit­y to browse the Belleek Collection in the museum. Our audio visual theatre tells the extended story of Belleek and its history. ONE SIXTY a photograph­ic exhibition which was launched in 2017 tells a very special social history story and is a favourite with visitors and especially with those who have a connection to the pottery.

Before leaving, take a little time to relax in the elegant surroundin­gs of our restaurant where you can enjoy freshly baked scones or a light lunch. For that all-important gift, you will find something in our showroom which is stocked with a wide selection of home and giftware, including some visitor centre exclusives that can only be purchased at Belleek Pottery.
