It starts at 10am on Friday October 1 and runs through until Sunday November 1, finishing at 4pm.

A spokesperson said: “This is a hugely enjoyable event with a footfall of just under 3,500 last year, and the show continues to grow.

“The team brings together 90 ceramics artists for a three-day artisan market in the heart of Melton Mowbray, and just in time for your Christmas shopping.

“You can see the work of the well-established alongside the up-and-coming, in an exciting mix of the sophisticated and the raw power of the next generation.

"No art hype, no gallery glitz, just potters and public mixing in a down-to-earth setting.”
