The
"Verwood Heathland Heritage Centre" project has
preserved and restored a unique Primitive Country Pottery
workshop, providing a Heritage Centre focusing on the Dorset
Heathland and local Crafts. The picture shows the Centre
pictured from Ferrett's Green.
The Exhibition Area,
contained in the original Potters' Workshop, has been
extended for further Exhibition Space and a Research Centre.
This extension was opened on the 13th June 2005 by the
Marquess of Salisbury.
The Initial Phase was also
officially opened by the
Rt. Hon, the Viscount Cranborne (now the Marquess of
Salisbury), Patron of the Centre on Friday 28th February
2003.
The Coffee Shop and a
Gift Shop serves Tea, Filter Coffee, Hot Chocolate, soft
drinks, biscuits and locally home made cakes at reasonable
prices and in a convivial atmosphere. Don't forget your FREE 2nd cup of
Coffee.
Open to all!
The centre serves all
whatever their age, beliefs and culture. There is
wheelchair access to all the public areas of the building.
There is no entrance
charge.
