Burslem Park Open Day

Burslem Park Open Day (part of the Heritage Open Days series)

Saturday 14 September, 3:00 - 5:00 pm

Burslem Park underwent some serious renovation and repair, including work to the bandstand, which was completed in May 2012.  This is a celebration of the completed and settled improvements, with various activities (and lots of open space and a park for the children to play in).  There's lots of art, greenery, sports and play facilities to enjoy, including: our restored Victorian terrace garden and ornamental fountains; restored buildings and terracotta period detail 'Pulhamite' rockery - a Victorian 'must have' feature.

There's also a decorative lake and fountain to walk around, a rockery cascade; an heritage mosaic designed by artist Rob Turner especially for the park, and a new 'Mayfly' sculpture by artists Andy Edwards and Philip Hardaker, featuring ceramic details by students from three local schools.

Most importantly, though, in addition to the playing areas, are children's craft activities.

Free entry.
