Highlights
-
Belleek Pottery & Visitor Centre - The tour is the jewel in the crown to any visit to Belleek Pottery. A maximum of 25 guests are brought around the complete manufacturing process and get a chance to meet and chat with the craftspeople along the way. You could be asked to make a little shamrock after you see how it’s done and add a few paint marks to a vase. Not forgetting the quality control department: As there are no seconds in the company any items that fail the Pottery’s many quality checks have to be broken so you are provided with goggles so you can have a smashing time!!!!
After the tour there are many other things to see in the Centre, our self guided Museum dating back to 1857 for example, our extensive Showroom and then why not relax over a coffee served on Belleek tableware in our Tea Rooms overlooking our Rose Isle Garden on the River Erne.

Great and informative!!! - Wonderful to see how this precious porcelain is being made. Especially the making of woven baskets and tiny flowers as well as the painting of these structures is amazing to see.

A total joy! - We visit Fermanagh at least twice a year and always make time to visit Belleek Pottery. Everything is wonderful: the gift shop, the cafe and the tour. All very authentic and the staff can't do enough for you. A must visit!

Worth the drive - I inherited a Belleek collection and was intrigued to go on the tour- you do need tickets ahead of time. The tour did not disappoint. We got to go through the factory and talk to the artists. The tearoom lunch was good, as well, especially the carrot cake! The museum and showroom were interesting as well. Worth the drive!

History and artistry in a uniquely Irish Pottery factory - This professionally led tour took our group through the various phases of creating this handmade, hand fired and intricately painted potteries. Along with meeting various artisans we learned the entire history of the Belleck Pottery with excellent historical archives to explore. There is also a tea room for afterwards and a dazzling gift shop. The staff is helpful and friendly and will assist in shipping any items home you may purchase

Charming Tour Of Belleek Factory - A small group tour of the old Belleek Pottery Centre. Slow paced and were able to ask the workers questions. Learned a lot about their pottery and how it is made. The sad part was that there are only a small fraction of workers there now compared to only a few years ago.

Belleek a must visit China/Pottery factory visit!! - The Belleek factory is a must visit, if you are ever in or near Enniskillen area of NI. The factory, the building, the shop and tour, museum are a MUST. We did the guided tour which gives a real insight, hands on and up close view. Our guide was great, one of the potters, who had been there for 20 years. The behind the scenes tour is a real eye opener as to how flowers, colours and beading are applied and will wow you!

Kids pottery tour - We booked the kids Bloomfield tour and it was great. Kids found it really enjoyable, highlight was getting to smash up some pieces that didn't pass quality. They received a certificate each at the end as well as a treat. Tea/coffee was included for the adults so we visited the cafe and purchased some scones. Delicious! All staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

How Belleek is made - Interesting to see how the pottery is made, but no photos are allowed in the shop. Tour began early and so some members of our group almost missed it! Tea room had food that was just OK. Interesting to see many more patterns than what I've seen for sale in the US.
