 The
"Verwood Heathland Heritage Centre"
project has
preserved and restored a unique Primitive
Country Pottery
workshop, providing a Heritage Centre
focusing on the Dorset
Heathland and local Crafts. The picture
shows the Centre
pictured from Ferrett's Green.
The Exhibition Area,
contained in the original Potters' Workshop,
has been
extended for further Exhibition Space and a
Research Centre.
This extension was opened on the 13th June
2005 by the
Marquess of Salisbury.
 The Initial Phase was
also
officially opened by the
Rt. Hon, the Viscount Cranborne (now the
Marquess of
Salisbury), Patron of the Centre, on
Friday 28th February
2003.
The
Coffee Shop and a
Gift Shop serves Tea, Filter Coffee, Hot
Chocolate, soft
drinks, biscuits and locally home made cakes
at reasonable
prices and in a convivial atmosphere.
Open
to all!
The centre
serves all
whatever their age, beliefs and
culture. There is
wheelchair access to all the public areas of
the building.
There is no
entrance
charge.
