Did you love the ‘Great Pottery Throw Down’? Well, if you are in Scotland this weekend, here’s your chance to get your pottery fix! Potfest at Scone Palace is on THIS WEEKEND, and let me tell you, it’s my favourite show of the year.
Why? Well, firstly the location is unbeatable. Potfest is set in the grounds of the magnificent Scone Palace, just outside Perth. Several marquees are set up with potters and pottery suppliers selling their wares, against a backdrop of the stunning palace garden grounds with peacocks wandering about.
It’s a wonderful day out for all the family, and not only can you buy pots from the people who actually make them, and learn more about how they are made, there are also demonstrations by various potters throughout the weekend. You also have a chance to try your hand at throwing pots on the potter’s wheel, and a children’s area where they can make their own unique clay creations!
When you have had your fill of all things potty, you can have a walk in the wonderful garden grounds, or visit the palace. Why not bring a picnic, or maybe have a cream tea in the lovely palace tearooms?
Please remember not all potters have credit card machines, so remember to bring cash or your cheque book.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
