Eastnor Pottery is one of those hidden treasures, a place to seek out or to stumble across whilst rambling in the rolling Malvern Hills.

The family-run pottery studio, nestled in the heart of the most lovely of Herefordshire countryside, is as idyllic as you get. Set up by husband and wife team Jon and Sarah, Eastnor Pottery run all manner of pottery classes from the cosiest of stonewalled cottages.

I spent a perfect summer’s day at one of Jon’s drop-in classes where we made coil pot owls and drank tea in the garden. I couldn’t have been happier. This place is perfect for anyone looking for some quiet time playing with clay, or something slightly different to do for a birthday party or hen-do. The breathtaking surroundings, homely interior (filled with thoughtful touches of bunting, tea lights and pottery galore) and the wonderfully friendly owners makes Eastnor Pottery feel like a very special find indeed.
