From junction 28 toward Derby on the A38 we took a turning for Heanor/Belper and followed the brown signs for Denby Pottery Factory. Less than 10 mins we came across our turning on the left which is on the old Denby Colliery site. You will notice the wheel from the old colliery as you head for the free car park.... More

I absolutely adore visiting Denby - me and my family often come here when visiting my Grandma. It is extremely popular. We took part in a free cookery demonstration which are available every day at 12.30 and 14.30. We also did an adapted tour of the factory, in which we only partook in the painting of plates and nothing else... More

We brought the mother-in-law here for Sunday lunch and a browse on a wet Sunday. The Sunday carvery was great with a choice of real carvery joints with a wide variety of potatoes and vegetables and all the home-made sauces you could imagine. There is a full-price homeware shop and a substantial factory/seconds shop. The quality is very good and... More

We spent a couple of hours browsing round the Denby Pottery visitors centre this weekend and came away feeling it was missing out on so many opportunities. Apart from the 6 shops selling either highly expensive pottery, glassware, food, gifts or cookware there's very little there. There was a 20min cookery lesson but no factory tour so I came away...

I frequently complain of poor customer service ..... but not here as it was superb throughout. We ended by spending money in five outlets. Superb.
