Facilities for babies and young children?

Yes you do need to book for all our activities, you can however just pop in Fri-Sun 10-2:30pm to collection your finished pottery.

Can I bring drink/food?

Yes you can. We do not serve refreshments at Firefly but are happy for you to bring your own – taking all/any rubbish created away with you. We have the lovely Marples next door for takeaway hot and cold drinks and sweet treats Mon-Sat.

What happens in the case of firing problems?

Whilst all efforts are made to avoid any issues sometimes they are unavoidable, we are dealing with a production process and a breakable product. With regard to paint your own pottery should your piece be damaged or broken we will contact you to apologies and offer you refund or the opportunity to redo. With regard to made pottery or external potters requiring firing – if we have fired within the boundaries stated for your clay and glaze we hold no further responsibility for faults

What if there's a group of us?

Great, book ahead and we will reserve space for you.
