Royal Worcester Factory Site Walking Tour

Discover the Legacy of Royal Worcester: Factory Site Walking Tour

Step into history on this 30-minute guided walking tour around the original Royal Worcester factory site, offered free of charge as part of a special Heritage Open Day event.

You will discover six uniquely crafted, wall-mounted ‘Hallmarks’ positioned across the grounds. Each Hallmark blends original architectural drawings of the historic kilns with the iconic transfer prints that made Worcester porcelain world-famous.

As you explore, each Hallmark showcases localized historic photographs alongside insights from your guide. Bring your smartphone to scan the QR codes on each marker and unlock immersive audio soundtracks that bring the vibrant sights, sounds, and stories of the pottery to life right where they happened.
