A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Paint a pot, stay for something delicious
Pottery painting, a browse-worthy lifestyle store and colourful brunches at Wild Thyme make China Blue an easy place to build a leisurely few hours.
China Blue brings a creative outing and a good lunch under one roof on Station Road. Choose a pottery piece to paint, browse homeware and gifts, then settle into Wild Thyme for a colourful plate or afternoon tea. There are throwing lessons too, if you would rather start with clay. A little planning turns the stop into a satisfying half-day.
