13–21 September 2025
Heritage Open Days: Bideford Ceramics and International Maritime Trade
Free entry
As part of Heritage Open Days 2025 there will be a mini-exhibition of ceramics selected from our archive, displaying works not typically accessible to the public. The focus will be the relationship between Bideford’s history of ceramics and international maritime trade, both of which saw the town’s influence stretch across the globe.
On Sunday 14 September, 11.30am-12.30pm, there will be a talk by Sadie Green, an expert in North Devon pottery and its export to the Eastern seaboard of America in Elizabethan times. The talk is free to attend but booking is required. Call 01237 471455 to book, or book online via Eventbrite.
