Events Events

Each year the museum mounts a vibrant series of exhibitions, ranging from loan collections of porcelain to contemporary commercial artists who have based their work on current day manufacture and materials.

Time for Tea

Past exhibitions include a county wide children's design competition, that attracted over a thousand entries from Worcestershire schools, as many of the exhibits as possible were placed on display alongside the winning hand painted tea cup and saucers.

A superb loan collection of Nelson memorabilia commemorated the 200th anniversary of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton's visit to the Worcester factory in 1802 and in 2003 the tale of teapots and tea was told in 'Time for Tea', a loan exhibition from Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery.

With free open days, talks and demonstrations there is always something new to see and do.
