Alternative primary projects and visits.

Please note: that due to Health and Safety regulations children under the age of 11 are not allowed onto the factory.

The Worcester Porcelain Museum and Royal Worcester's visitor centre offer an excellent alternative where children can follow a fascinating facts tour, listen to extracts from an audio tour, paint their own biscuit plate and compare life and production from 1751 to the present day.
