Set under a number of large, open-sided marquees on immaculate lawns, overlooking the stunning lake, Potfest is an exciting opportunity to visit an artisan ceramics market, showcasing the work of over 90 of the UK’s finest ceramics makers.

Emma Talbot: HOW WE LEARN TO LOVE
A large, vibrant mural covering the walls of an indoor space. The mural features a highly detailed, fantastical landscape with numerous surreal, symbolic elements. Swirling patterns, celestial imagery, and imaginary creatures create a sense of dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere. A central, larger-than-life female figure with long, flowing pink hair appears to be the focal point of the composition.
