Brookside Pottery was originally set up by the very lovely Liz and Dave Bell in 1996. They retired in 2021 and the pottery sadly closed its doors in 2023.

I worked for Liz & Dave at the weekends and in the school holidays, as a student, and have very fond memories of this time. When my mum saw the pottery closed, & looking very sad on a visit to the garden centre we decided that it just had to be something that was alive again.

Sadly the original building is now too old to be used, but we are very proud of our new pottery home. We hope you leave us with a little bit of the Brookside magic that we feel every time we open our doors to welcome all of our pottery friends, old and new.

Brookside Pottery is a family & pet friendly space based at Brookside Garden Centre.
