Potfest

by the

Lake

Returning to Compton Verney for its fourth year as a flagship host, this popular summer event is a highlight in every potter’s calendar.

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 108 of the UK’s finest ceramics makers.

Alongside local works, we also try to welcome a few of our continental colleagues and occasionally those from further afield.

Enjoy award-winning street food from Digbeth Dining Club, a reduced menu from our restaurant, and cold snacks and drinks from our Pod in the Park.

The Reflected Self
A man with long hair and a beard sits at a table in a dimly lit room. He's wearing a white loose-fitting shirt and a necklace with a pendant. On the table are a lit candle, a glass of dark liquid, and a small mirror. Behind him is a wall with religious text inscribed on it.
