PIRATE-themed fun will be on the agenda at Eastnor Pottery this half-term.

Youngsters will be able to take a spin on the potter’s wheel and make a pirate galleon filled with rogues and treasure.

Jon Williams and his crew of ceramic seadogs will be on hand to aid the seafaring creativity.

He said the pirate-themed activities were inspired by the success of a similar event some years ago.

He said: "Eleven years on, the crew and meself thought it was high tide we hoisted the Jolly Roger and readied the rowlocks for another voyage of pottery pilfery."

The children’s terracotta creations will be fired and ready for collection from the pottery about a month later.

The sessions, on Wednesday, May 31, are designed for two age-groups, although younger and older siblings will never be turned away: ages four to eight at 11.30am and nine to 12 at 2pm.

Places cost £15 per child with a ten per cent discount for three or more. Booking is essential on 01531 633886 or admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk.
