Nottinghamshire &amp; Derbyshire

Fire up the kilns! Or, you know, let someone else do the tricky bit while you admire the view.&nbsp;The <a href="https://toastedceramicfair.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toasted Ceramic Fair</a> lands in the elegant surroundings of Derby Museum and Art Gallery on the Wardwick from 28-29 March 2026, showcasing more top artists than you can throw a potter’s wheel at.



There’s plenty for all tastes, with 37 potters showcasing their ceramics and hosting talks, demos and workshops (including some brilliant kids&#8217; sessions worth <a href="https://toastedceramicfair.uk/toasted-workshops/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">booking ahead</a>). This year there&#8217;s also a kid sister fair at Long Eaton Art Room, with 20 potters&#8217; work on display.



Here’s a soupçon of some of my favourites. Scaffold your credit card and make some room on your display shelves, you’re gonna need it.
