Britain's What's On Event Guide
Towers & Turrets in Clay at the Bandstand – Tamworth Castle Grounds
Heritage Open Day: Make your own clay creation inspired by Tamworth Castle! Join local potters in the Castle Grounds to design a piece featuring towers, turrets, windows or doors. Take it home and snap a photo with our castle selfie frame. Free family-friendly drop-in. Enjoy a free, hands-on clay workshop at the Bandstand in Tamworth Castle Grounds, inspired by the castle’s striking architecture.
Guided by local potters, you’ll design and make your own unique clay creation, drawing from the castle’s most iconic features – from its mighty towers and turrets to arrow-slits, windows, arched doorways, and textured stone walls. Using simple tools, templates, and textures, you’ll shape your piece, then burnish it to a smooth, polished finish with pebbles or spoons.
