Our History

The British Pottery Manufacturers Federation Club, or Potters Club as it is more fondly known, was founded in 1951 to provide facilities for directors of the thriving local pottery companies to entertain overseas visitors. Over time The Club has extended its membership to professional people from all walks of business. It has however maintained its reputation as "the place to be seen".

The Club is a hidden gem, tucked away on the third floor of Federation House, close to the railway station in Stoke. Its austere exterior by no means prepares you for the beauty of the interior. Artefacts around The Club remind you of its history within the pottery industry. At the heart of The Club are its members, who enjoy the facilities it provides; from the fine dining restaurant, private meeting and dining rooms, to the cosy bar and decadent lounge where you can relax with an after dinner liqueur in the glow of three vast chandeliers.

The Club remains a members' club but we always welcome new members. If you would like to join us please go to our members' page for details and an online form.
