Our new Discover Wedgwood packages are now available!
The Wedgwood Museum’s inspiring Discover Wedgwood packages offer a unique opportunity to spend time with a member of our curatorial team, discovering fascinating stories hidden within its extensive collections and the Wedgwood archives. There are three Discover Wedgwood experiences available – Bronze, Silver and Gold – which take place regularly throughout the year. A selection of thought-provoking and engaging subjects are investigated, so as well as choosing between Bronze, Silver and Gold, you can also book your preferred date depending on the topic that most interests you.
Find the Discover Wedgwood packages and the full programme for 2016 here.
