Tips & Advice
- If you drive a tall or heavy vehicle, avoid coming in via Barlaston Old Road, because the single-lane canal bridge has a 2.3m height limit and a weight limit.
- Book the Wedgwood Tea Room ahead if you want to eat there after browsing, so you don't miss out on a table.
- Call ahead to reserve one of the free wheelchairs if you need one, or ask at reception when you arrive.
- Makers who want a stall should email Castle Artisan with their product type and portfolio, because Castle Artisan handles every stall application for the market.
