Forrester's Pottery

Families from Medway, Maidstone and the surrounding Kent area love us because pottery painting is something everyone can enjoy together. Children get excited about painting their own piece, while parents and grandparents love joining in too. You don’t just get a fun day out – you get to take home a personal keepsake that will last forever.

Perfect for kids

Children absolutely love Forrester’s Pottery. Our paints are safe, washable and easy to use, so even little ones can join in. Kids especially enjoy the “big reveal” when they return to collect their finished pottery piece, shiny and colourful after it’s been glazed and fired in our kiln. Many proudly use their pottery at home or keep it as a special memory of their day. Parents often tell us their children talk about their creations long after the visit.

Great for parties and special occasions

Looking for a unique way to celebrate in Kent? Forrester’s Pottery is ideal for children’s birthday parties, hen parties, school trips, and even team-building events. We offer tailored packages for groups, with everything set up so you can relax and enjoy the day. Party guests love creating something special, while hosts love how stress-free it is. Whether you’re in Medway, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, or the surrounding towns, we’re a top choice for group activities.

Relax and unwind

For adults, pottery painting is a surprisingly mindful and relaxing activity. Many visitors from across Kent say it’s the perfect way to slow down, focus on something creative, and enjoy time away from screens. Whether you visit with friends, as a couple, or on your own, Forrester’s Pottery offers a calm, welcoming space where creativity flows.
