Belleek Pottery is undoubtedly one of the finest pottery and ceramics producers in the UK. Trading since 1884, the manufacturer has produced items so fine they have been deemed worthy of a place in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Situated in the small village of Belleek on the border of Northern Ireland, why not pay a visit to this historic factory for yourself?
Belleek Pottery’s porcelain is distinguished by its dainty structure and glistening sheen. In the Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre and Museum, you can see some of the most superb items that the factory has produced over the years. Visitors can witness the entire production process from careful construction of this intricate porcelain to painting, glazing and firing. In a world dominated by mass-produced commodities, a visit to Belleek is a wonderful way to witness the fading art of pottery craftsmanship at its undeniable best.
Why not even take an original piece of Belleek Pottery home with you? There is a large gift shop on the premises, where you can purchase exclusive items unavailable elsewhere. Here you can pick up a handcrafted vase or teapot before heading to Belleek’s tearoom, where – of course – the delicious fare is served on Belleek tableware!
Open throughout the year, including bank holidays, Belleek Pottery is located in the quaint village of Belleek in County Fermanagh. You can drive here along the A47 road, which passes through the village before crossing the banks of the river Erne into the Republic of Ireland.
