Pottery Painting & Craft Studios in Derby

If you fancy an afternoon with paint on your hands rather than a screen in front of your face, Derby has a couple of good options. Paint a Pot Derby sits inside Markeaton Park, with figures from £9 and no studio fee on top, open daily from 10:00 to 17:00. For something further out, The Mug Tug Ashore in Burton-on-Trent takes all ages from birth up, letting you pick a shape off the shelf and paint it before collecting the finished piece about a week later. Markeaton Park is the cheaper start and easy to fold into a wider day out, given it is only a few minutes from the centre. Burton-on-Trent is a longer trip but worth it if you want somewhere with indoor seating, toilets and a party room set up for a birthday. Both take bookings for groups and parties, and both are entirely indoor, useful if the weather turns.
