Sharpe’s Pottery Museum

Sharpe’s Pottery Museum is nestled in the market town of Swadlincote at the heart of The National Forest. Our unique grade II listed building holds a variety of events and activities throughout the year.

When you visit the museum discover stories of Sharpe’s family history, and the significant changes from 19th century coal mining, clay extraction and associated industrial activity in South Derbyshire, to a 21st century sustainable landscape led by the creation of The National Forest!
