Group Organiser's Go Potty for Johnsons' Christmas Outing

Johnsons Coach Travel treated 30 group organisers to a special Christmas outing at World of Wedgwood on Wednesday 7^th December 2016. The group enjoyed a guided tour of the factory and the museum and a chance to create their own masterpieces on the Potter’s Wheel.

The World of Wedgwood factory tour offered an in-depth view of all aspects of quality ceramic production including casting, figure making, pattern decorating and hand painting, ornamentation and gilding.

The Wedgwood museum traces over 250 years of ground-breaking design and production and the group had the chance to discover Josiah Wedgwood’s lasting influence on industry and society.

After the tours the group enjoyed a two course Christmas lunch in the new restaurant followed by free time to visit the shops and the tea emporium and create their own masterpieces on the Potter’s Wheel.

Jo Brown, Group Tours manager at Johnsons commented: “It was so fantastic to catch up with so many of group organisers and celebrate another wonderful year of group tours. The World of Wedgwood were very welcoming and took great care of us.”

Group Organisers also gave great feedback on their day out:

“What a splendid day Johnsons laid on for us. It was painstakingly planned and executed. We enjoyed the day immensely and cannot wait to go back and look at the Museum in more detail.”

“Thank you Johnsons for the splendid tour. We can’t stop talking about it – and I am very much looking forward to my own hand-made vase arriving, a permanent reminder of how much I enjoyed the day.”

“What a splendid day Johnsons organized for us this year. We didn’t do any research before we went to Wedgwood so we had no idea what to expect, but we certainly hadn’t imagined such an exceptional experience. Wedgwood are to be congratulated for pulling the business back from the brink and raising their profile with such a beautifully designed visitor attraction. We particularly enjoyed the factory tour and thought the quality of the lunch was excellent.”
