My friend Sara set up her own pottery studio, in the pretty nearby village of Bourn, last year, and has very quickly made it a going concern. She offers private studio pottery sessions - you can book a one to one session to learn how to throw a pot, or a group session making whatever you fancy as a family.

Parks & Nature
A family favourite, which we visit throughout the year. Although this National Trust property is primarily known for it's Jacobean house and working watermill, we wander the grounds every season and there is something for everyone all year round.
The winter lights are spectacular but were sold out in July last year, so book early! https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/anglesey-abbey-gardens-and-lode-mill
