Potfest Haughley Park - 7th-9th August

Potfest Suffolk 2026 – Haughley Park – Visit Cromartie at the Show

Potfest Suffolk 2026 at Haughley Park, Stowmarket – ceramic fair and pottery festival

10:00am – 4:30pm daily

Potfest Suffolk returns to Haughley Park for a brilliant summer weekend of handmade ceramics, set in the parkland around this beautiful Jacobean manor house.

As the first Potfest venue in the East of the country, Haughley Park is located just outside Stowmarket, mid-way between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich. Expect open-sided marquees, a curated line-up of makers, and plenty of inspiration (plus the temptation to buy “just one more pot”… every five minutes).

A gallery of 2026 exhibitors will be published early in the New Year.

Visit the Cromartie Stand

Come along and say hello to the Cromartie team on the trade stand. We’ll be exhibiting a selection of kilns, potters wheels, glazes, tools, and studio essentials — and we’re always happy to chat through setups for hobby potters, makers, and Paint Your Own Pottery studios.

Collecting an Order from Our Trade Stand
Place your order online at least 2 days before the event, select collection at checkout, and add a note in the special delivery instructions saying: “Collecting at Potfest Suffolk – Haughley Park”.
We’ll bring it along for you to collect from our stand (small orders only – pallet-sized orders excluded).

Event Collection – Important Information

Due to transport and trade stand space limitations, all orders for event collection must be placed a minimum of three working days before the event.

If you are planning to place a larger order, including pallet quantities, please contact us before placing your order so we can confirm transport arrangements and available space at the show.

Potters’ Competition

At each Potfest show, potters are invited to enter a piece responding to a theme. The theme for the 2026 Potfest events will be announced early in the New Year.

Vote for your favourite on the day for a chance to win a Potfest Passport — free entry to all Potfest events for life.
