Current Exhibitions

100 Years Ago - January, February and March

Each month pop into the museum and learn about famous events and local news which happened in each month a hundred years ago.  In conjunction with the Magic Attic.

Future Exhibitions

Our new Temporary Exhibition space will be open in March on the first floor.  Our first exhibition will be:

Ticknall Pottery from March until June

Shards of Ticknall pottery are regularly found around the area today, examine recent finda and delve into the production history.  Watch out for a special talk on the exhibition by Janet Spavold and Sue Brown on their fascinating finds.

Get Involved

We would like to do a future exhibition on the history of Bretby Pottery.  Do you have any iteresting works from the pottery or do you have any memories, photographs or documentation relating to the factory?  If so, we would be really interested in taking a look.  Contact museum on 01283 222600 or email sharpespotterymuseum@hotmail.co.uk
