I bought a day’s pottery course for my wife’s birthday and it was brilliant. Sarah was knowledgeable, attentive and tolerant of our inexperience (we’d never thrown a pot before - well my wife had 59 years ago but that doesn’t count). She really gave us confidence and I can’t believe the quality of pots, cups, bowls, plates and vases we produced (17 in total!) I can’t wait to go back in a week to pick them up after they’ve been fired
3. Vale & Downland Museum

4.5 based on 101 reviews
The Vale and Downland Museum is located in the busy market town of Wantage in Oxfordshire, UK. The museum has been nationally acclaimed as an outstanding example of community partnership. The range of services is very broad ranging, from galleries interpreting the cultural heritage of the Vale of White Horse region, to a cafe with a delightful terrace and garden. It also acts as a springboard for residents and visitors to enjoy and appreciate the countryside around Wantage.

Went here with family friends to have a warm chocolate during the Wantage Dickensian Evening in 2019. Really lovely place! Run by volunteers and what a great job they do. Also nice to see the little shop still running. Will try the museum at the back next time I'm there as I know it's been renovated.

Whilst the children won’t say that it was better than Disneyland there is a certain charm in this old Sarsen Stone. Explanatory leaflet for sale alongside for 20p. (All monies go to up keeping church fabric ‘ Just on the RHS coming down Blowing Stone Hill with parking space opposite. Maybe best to not blow into stone in these infectious times , Carry on down the hill cross the x roads and 400 yards along is the spectacular church of St John the Baptist in Kingston Lisle village. Fully refurbished this C12 church is wonderful with medieval wall paintings , C16 woodwork and Victorian stained glass. a beautiful serene space (ok I’m biased as I’m Church Warden!) . The two attractions and a walk on the Ridgeway make for a great day out.

Popped in for the second time today in two weeks. Awesome place, lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff, Baguettes are fantastic, freshly baked and served with loads of Nachos. Not the cheapest in town but excellent value and by far the best surroundings.
