I stumbled across the Potters barn when I was looking for a gift for my girlfriend. Starting the booking process was really easy and Andrew responded very quickly to my questions by email. I asked if I could have vouchers made which was no problem at all. I was given a year to use them for a beginners pottery course at the barn near Sandbach in Cheshire. On the day we arrived we were greeted by Andrew and shown to the lovely room where we would learn how to hand make clay items. Very friendly and knowledgeable, Andrew was very patient and showed us both the techniques required to turn the lump of clay into a really nice chalice, adopting any design we so wished! We then returned downstairs to meet Stephen who showed us the art of spinning pots on the wheel! From start to finish this activity was really good fun; Stephen hilarious and so friendly, really patient and showing us that we could really do it. In total over a half-day course we made two pots on the wheel each and a hand built pot each. We had the option to have them put in the kiln and a colour painted on: for the fun of it we elected to have all of our work finished. We just had to visit one month later to go and pick them up. I never thought that I would enjoy having a go at pottery as I’m a ‘techie IT guy’ but it was a great way to spend a Friday and learn something completely new! To be really good at this practice makes perfect and Andrew and Stephen certainly are these experts with many years under their belts; however great instructors adding humour, fun and enjoyment with their easily followed guidance. I will be purchasing further training from them for the two of us and also considering sending family there for them to also enjoy the beginners course. Highly recommended, great friendly people and an all-round wonderful experience. Thank you Potters Barn!

Great little park very convenient for Sandbach town with a good range of play equipment for all ages and even has a zip wire. Paved walk around the green area which means it’s a good place to visit even when it is/has been raining. There is now a great coffee van in the park between 10am and 3pm every day except Tuesday making this a great place to go for a walk with the option of lovely tasting coffee, tea and cold drinks etc on the go plus brownies to die for. Search for Blackwater & Grubb for more information.

The Market Square has been a historic focal point for the town of Sandbach for many centuries, with many Grade 1 & 2 listed buildings and structures. The most prominent of these is the Saxon Crosses, a pair of 9th-century stone Anglo-Saxon crosses. Following redevelopment which was completed in 2009, the Market Square hosts many of Sandbach's markets and festivals, including the Charter Market.

Just wander around this lovely tranquil area! Take a seat and contemplate the ancient monument and wonder what stories could be told! They used to park cars here but now they leave it open. Enjoy the pubs, open at many different time,and restaurants and coffee shops. Enjoy the photographic view of St Mary's. Wander in to Williams and try the Cheshire cheeses. Oh Heaven! Just visit here and hope the weather is pleasant!

One of our favourite places to go. It's great value for money with a big park, lovely to feed the animals and a big soft play with a section for the littlw ones. We can easily spend all day here. The cafe queue was massive just for a coffee but i put that down to how busy it was. Fab day out
